Making glaucoma genetic studies more diverse.

Abstract excerpt

Although the blinding eye disease glaucoma is more common in people of African ancestry, previous genetic studies predominantly involved European subjects. In this issue of Cell, O'Brien et al. report a genome-wide association study for glaucoma in individuals of African ancestry, showing overlap with European studies and refining an African polygenic risk score.
