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 Role of Genetic Ancestry as a Risk Factor for Primary Open-angle Glaucoma in African Americans.

In sum, the POAAGG study population is very admixed, with a higher degree of African ancestry associated with an increased POAG risk.

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.

Factors Predictive of Remission of Chronic Anterior Uveitis.

Approximately one third of patients with chronic anterior uveitis remit within 5 years.

Evaluation of the Cirrus High-Definition OCT Normative Database Probability Codes in a Black American Population.

Results further establish the presence of structural differences in the RNFL of Black American patients.

The primary open-angle african american glaucoma genetics study: baseline demographics.

The POAAGG study has currently recruited more than 2000 African Americans eligible for a POAG genetics study.
