Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This report describes the design and methodology of the "Eyes of Africa: The Genetics of Blindness," a collaborative study funded through the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) program of the National Institute of Health. METHODS: This is a case control study that is collecting a large well phenotyped data set among glaucoma patients and controls for a genome wide association study....
