Towards modifying the genetic predisposition for glaucoma: An overview of the contribution and interaction of genetic and environmental factors.

Abstract excerpt

Glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, is a complex human disease, with both genetic and environmental determinants. The availability of large-scale, population-based cohorts and biobanks, combining genotyping and detailed phenotyping, has greatly accelerated research into the aetiology of glaucoma in recent years.
