This study was the first to localize a gene linked to open- angle glaucoma. Affected family members had a severe form of the disease, with an early onset of glaucoma and very high intraocular pressure. The GLC1A genetic interval was mapped on chromosome 1q21-31, between markers D1S194 and D1S191.

Am J Hum Genet 1995, 56:1431-1442. The authors analyzed a family with 46 patients affected with GLC1A-linked disease. Phenotypic diversity was shown. In some subjects, glaucoma was diagnosed after 40 years of age; six patients had isolated ocular hypertension.

Hum Genet 1996, 98:567-571. A variable age of glaucoma onset (age range 11-51 years; median 36 years) was reported in this family with GLC1A-linked disease. The GLC1A genetic interval was narrowed to 7 cM.
