PURPOSE: Primary congenital glaucoma (isolated trabeculodysgensis, PCG) generally presents between birth and 3 years of age. Recently, mutations in Latent Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-beta Binding Protein 2 (LTBP2) have been reported in several families that were diagnosed with PCG, who actually had a more complex ocular phenotype with ectopia lentis and Marfanoid features. We screened this gene for mutations...
