How significant is a family history of glaucoma? Experience from the Glaucoma Inheritance Study in Tasmania

1 Dec 2007

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To determine what proportion of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in Tasmania, Australia is familial. METHODS: Between 1994 and 1996 an audit of Tasmanian patients diagnosed with glaucoma was performed. Identified probands along with their family members were invited to participate. Family history of POAG was noted and pedigrees constructed. Each participant underwent a detailed examination, including...
