Family History in the Primary Open-Angle African American Glaucoma Genetics Study Cohort.

The risk conferred by positive FH suggests strong genetic underpinnings for some patients with this disease, which will be investigated by genome-wide association studies and whole exome sequencing.

The MT-CO1 V83I Polymorphism is a Risk Factor for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in African American Men.

The V83I polymorphism was associated strongly with POAG in AA men and disrupts Aβ-binding to CO1. This region also interacts with a neuroprotective protein, UBQLN1.

Outcomes of Resident Performed Hydrus, iStent, and Kahook Glaucoma Procedures in a Predominantly African American Population.

In this study, the difference in IOP lowering and medication reduction postoperatively between the Hydrus, iStent, and Kahook was not statistically significant after postoperative day 1.

Two Year Randomized Prospective Comparison of Ahmed Valve Versus Baerveldt Implant in Vitrectomized Eyes.

GDDs provide a viable solution for IOP control in vitrectomized eyes. Based on our prospective comparison, both Ahmed FP7 Glaucoma Valve and Baerveldt 101-350 Glaucoma Implant are efficacious options.

Self-identified Black Race as a Risk Factor for Intraocular Pressure Elevation and Iritis Following Prophylactic Laser Peripheral Iridotomy.

The incidence of immediate IOP elevation and iritis following prophylactic LPI was higher in Black patients independent of laser type and energy.
