Abstract excerpt
The genealogic tree examination of a female patient with open angle glaucoma showed the presence of eight more cases of glaucoma in the same family. The transmission was autosomal predominant with a 75% penetration of the pathological gene. In the patient's family the affection appeared practically at the same age and evolved with the same specific feature.
