Prevalence of Myocilin Mutations in Adults with Primary Open-angle Glaucoma in Ghana, West Africa

1 Oct 2002

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Investigators have noted that primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in West Africa has an earlier age of onset and appears to be more clinically severe than in the United States and Europe. Primary open-angle glaucoma patients with mutations in myocilin have a similar phenotype. Therefore, we investigated the role of mutations in myocilin in patients with POAG in a West African population. MATERIALS AND...
