Abstract

Hereditary influences have long been considered a component in the etiology of glaucoma, considering that relatives of individuals clinically diagnosed with juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) have a higher incidence of the disease. The first described gene with an association to JOAG and POAG was myocilin, a 504-amino-acid glycoprotein. Mutations within myocilin are associated with up to 36% of JOAG and 4% of POAG cases. The function of myocilin in normal or glaucoma eyes is unknown.
