Glaucoma in Ghana, West Africa: clinical features and the role of mutations in Myocilin.

Ophthalmology clinics of North America - 1 Dec 2003

Herndon Leon W, Challa Pratap, Allingham R Rand

Abstract excerpt

POAG is a severely debilitating disease in West Africa. Currently, many patients seem to be misclassified as having POAG who in fact have CACG. Improved examination techniques, including routine gonioscopy, would increase diagnostic accuracy and improve treatment strategies. The incidence of Myocilin mutations in this group of individuals is similar to that found in other populations around the world. Myocilin...
