Primary congenital glaucoma: a novel single-nucleotide deletion and varying phenotypic expression for the 1,546-1,555dup mutation in the GLC3A (CYP1B1) gene in 2 families of different ethnic origin.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To present new molecular genetic data on primary congenital glaucoma from 2 families, 1 isolated case and 3 familial cases due to mutations in the cytochrome P-450 1B1 (CYP1B1) gene. METHODS: All diagnoses were made by slit-lamp biomicroscopy, gonioscopy, cornea and optic disk measurements, ultrasound-biometry, and automated static threshold perimetry where possible. Mutation screening was performed by...
