Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is characterized by developmental abnormalities of the anterior chamber angle. Although several genes have been associated with PCG, pathogenic mutations could only be detected in about 20% of Chinese patients. GLC3B (1p36.2-36.1) and GLC3C (14q24.3) loci were previously identified in PCG pedigrees via linkage analysis. However, no causative genes were reported in...
