The Professional Medical Journal, 2018 … Introduction: Glaucoma constitutes a group of ocular diseases characterized byoptic nerve damage and loss of visual field, usually associated with elevated IOP. Although theelevation of IOP beyond normal values is not necessary for the occurrence of glaucomatousdamage, it is currently thought to be a major risk factor.

Primary open-angle glaucoma genes [PDF]
Eye, 2011 A substantial fraction of glaucoma has a genetic basis. About 5% of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is currently attributed to single-gene or Mendelian forms of glaucoma (ie glaucoma caused by mutations in myocilin or optineurin). Mutations in these genes have a high likelihood of leading to glaucoma and are rarely seen in normal subjects.
