Genetics of exfoliation syndrome and glaucoma. [PDF]
Exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) is the most common identifiable secondary form of open-angle glaucoma in the world. It is an ocular manifestation of exfoliation syndrome (XFS), an age-related systemic disease characterized by deposition of extracellular fibrillar material in various tissues and organs.

Hyaluronan in the exfoliation syndrome [PDF]
AbstractPurpose: To histochemically analyze if the glycoseaminoglycan component of pseudoexfoliation material consists of hyaluronan.Methods: The hyaluronan binding region of cartilage proteoglycans was utilized in a staining specific for hyaluronan. The technique has been described and employed previously.
