“…4 In addition, JOAG is distinguished from late congenital glaucoma and other childhood glaucomas by the absence of buphthalmos, Haab's striae and anterior segment dysgenesis. 3 To date, at least 14 gene loci (GLC1A-N) have been linked to POAG (OMIM #137760). Among these loci, three genes, MYOC encoding myocilin, OPTN encoding optineurin and the WDR36 gene encoding a protein of unknown function, seem to harbour the mutations that lead to POAG.…”
