HLA in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

International Archives of Allergy and Applied Immunology, 2009
Histocompatibility antigen typing was carried out in 50 Caucasian patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and 50 Caucasian ocular-normotensive subjects. HLA-A 3 was present in 46%, B7 in 52%, B 12 in 50%, and either B 7 or B 12 in 88% of patients with POAG.

Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 2011
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy that is usually associated with an elevated intraocular pressure. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type of glaucoma and is progressive and bilateral but typically asymmetric in patients. Studies have shown that reducing intraocular pressure reduces the risk of vision loss.

Heredity in primary open-angle glaucoma

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2000
The past years have seen considerable progress in the characterization of hereditary factors in primary open-angle glaucoma. Epidemiologic studies strengthened our knowledge of the hereditary factors in this multifactorial disease. Several loci in the human genome have been described, which segregate with different glaucoma phenotypes. Mutations of the
