[Molecular genetic aspects of glaucoma pathogenesis].

Abstract excerpt

To improve our understanding of glaucoma pathophysiology it is important to investigate endophenotypes which are determined by heritable quantitative traits, such as intraocular pressure, vertical cup-to-disc ratio, optic disc area, and central corneal thickness. Glaucoma is associated with increased intraocular pressure and defects of trabecular meshwork and anterior chamber which lead to derangement of...
