Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Despite increasing knowledge of the genetic pathophysiology of glaucoma, mutations in known genes account for less than 15% of disease. Gene screening predominantly remains a research tool rather than an essential part of the clinical work-up. We aimed to determine the mutational spectrum and frequency in the genes implicated in glaucoma, in a range of glaucoma and 'glaucoma suspect' (GS)...
