Genetics of closed-angle glaucoma.
Acute inflammatory or congestive glaucoma was recognized in ancient times as an entity and well it might be in view of its dramatic symptoms and extreme pain. In 1857 von Graefe described its symptomatology in modem language and recognized it as a primary form of glaucoma in the adult. Among other features he noted that a characteristic of the eye so affected was shallowness of the anterior cha...
متن کاملThe genetics of primary open angle glaucoma.
The advent of the discipline of molecular genetics over the past decade has led to a dramatic growth in our understanding of the genetics of a myriad of diseases. Ophthalmology has benefited greatly from this new technology, with significant advances in our knowledge about conditions as varied as aniridia and retinitis pigmentosa. 2 Our understanding of the genetics of primary open angle glauco...

متن کاملAdult-onset primary glaucoma and molecular genetics: a review.
PURPOSE To evaluate recent molecular genetic studies focused on localizing and identifying the genes involved in adult-onset primary glaucoma, characterizing the gene products, and investigating the molecular mechanisms implicated in the pathophysiology of the disease. METHODS Several studies have aimed at understanding gene expression and protein processing and attempting to correlate the mu...
