Hereditary Glaucoma Occurrence in Five Generations of an Edinburgh Family.
A REGULAR Mendelian dominant pattern of inheritance is characteristic of so-called juvenile glaucoma and some hundred genealogies have been recorded (Fran9ois, 1961), two-thirds showing one or two affected generations and the other third three to six generations. However, in a condition of such high prevalence as primary glaucoma, two successive affected generations are not sufficient to prove ...
متن کاملExclusion of one pedigree affected by adult onset primary open angle glaucoma from linkage to the juvenile glaucoma locus on chromosome 1q21-q31.
A locus for autosomal dominant juvenile onset primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) was recently assigned to chromosome region 1q21-q31. In the present study, a large Greek family with autosomal dominant adult onset POAG was investigated using microsatellite markers. Exclusion of linkage of the adult onset POAG gene to the region D1S194-D1S191 was obtained in this pedigree. Therefore, the data pro...
متن کاملPredictive genetic testing in minors for Myocilin juvenile onset open angle glaucoma.
Myocilin glaucoma is an autosomal dominant disorder leading to irreversible blindness, but early intervention can minimize vision loss and delay disease progression. The purpose of this study was to discuss the benefits of predictive genetic testing in minors for Myocilin mutations associated with childhood onset glaucoma. Three families with Myocilin mutations associated with an age of onset b...

PURPOSE To study the clinical features and to perform genetic linkage study in two large Chinese families with autosomal dominant juvenile-onset primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS Eighteen members of one Chinese family and 25 members of a second Chinese family with juvenile-onset primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) were investigated. Thirteen members in one family and 14 members in th...
متن کاملAutosomal dominant iridogoniodysgenesis with associated somatic anomalies: four-generation family with Rieger's syndrome.
A family extending over 4 generations showed iridogoniodysgenesis accompanied by somatic malformations inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Iridogoniodysgenesis was present in 10 members, of whom 5 had established glaucoma; 4 youthful members are likely to develop glaucoma. Somatic malformations were present in 5 members from the 3rd and 4th generations who did not manifest iridogoniodys...
