Glaucoma in Costa Rica. Initial approaches.

Revista de biologia tropical - 1 Sept 2004

Chavarría-Soley Gabriela, Rautenstrauss Bernd I, Azofeifa Jorge

Abstract excerpt

Glaucoma is the second most frequent cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Genetic factors have been implicated in the development of the disease. So far six loci (GLC1A-GLC1F) and two genes (TIGR/MYOC and OPTN) are involved in the development of juvenile (JOAG) and adult onset or chronic primary open angle glaucoma (COAG), while two loci (GLC3A,GLC3B) and one gene (CYP1B1) are known for primary congenital...
