ABO-blood groups and Rh-factor (D-antigen) were determined in 236 patients with POAG, 104 simple and 132 capsular glaucoma. There was a statistical significant difference in the ABO-distribution between the two glaucoma subgroups, and also between the capsular-group and our control material. The simplex-group did not differ from the control material in this respect. For the Rh-group (D-antigen) no differences were found, neither between the two glaucoma subgroups nor between each of them and a reference material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
