Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Approximately 1 in 30 unselected patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) have a mutation in the myocilin gene. The purpose of this study was to describe the morphologic features of the optic nerve head (ONH) in myocilin glaucoma. METHODS: A case-control design was adopted. Sixty-six patients heterozygous for a range of myocilin mutation (cases) were matched in disease severity to 105 patients with OAG...
