This was the first study trying to reach the gold standard and consisted of a population-based POAG group, an appropriate population-based age-matched control group, and ophthalmologic examination of a considerable proportion (82.4%) of relatives of both groups. The risk ratio for the development of glaucoma in relatives of patients with POAG compared with relatives of control participants was reported to be 9.2.

Presents mutation analysis of four families with juvenile-onset POAG linked to GLC1A. Although three families carried disease-causing mutations in the MYOC/ TIGR gene, one Turkish family harbored a polymorphism not segregating with the disease phenotype. The authors conclude that either mutations in the promotor region of the MYOC/TIGR gene or in another neighboring gene may be responsible for glaucoma in the Turkish family.

Describes 72 patients with POAG from six families with a shared Asn480Lys mutation of the MYOC/TIGR gene and evidence of a common founder. The wide range of the severity in this POAG group may faciliate the research on factors influencing the expressivity of the gene.

Hum Mol Genet 1999, 8:899-905. Currently the largest analysis of MYOC/TIGR mutations in patients with POAG and control participants. Gives the prevalence of 21 probable glaucoma-causing mutations, 22 probable polymorphisms, and 18 synonymous codon changes of the MYOC/TIGR gene in 11 groups of patients and control participants. These had been recruited from five different populations from three continents. Of the disease-causing mutations, 76% were found in only one population. The overall frequency of disease-causing mutations was similar in all populations (-2% to 4%), including an African-American group. Presents evidence suggesting that a single founder transmitted the Gln368STOP mutation to the 27 POAG probands identified in this study originating from four different populations.

Immunohistochemical study on human donor eyes, demonstrating increased expression of the myocilin protein in the trabecular meshwork in open-angle glaucoma eyes compared with normal eyes regardless of the type or clinical severity of glaucoma.
