Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To estimate the heritability of the iridotrabecular angle width measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) in a classic twin study. METHODS: Twins aged 8 to 16 years were identified from the Guangzhou Twin Registry. ASOCT was used to obtain one horizontal scan, and the images were analyzed with custom software. Angle width was represented by the angle opening distance (AOD) at the...
