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.

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.

Low Body Mass Index Poses Greater Risk of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in African Ancestry Individuals.

In this African ancestry cohort, low BMI was associated with increased POAG risk.

Socioeconomic and environmental factors associated with glaucoma in an African Ancestry Population: findings from the Primary Open-Angle African American Glaucoma Genetics (POAAGG) study.

Socioeconomic status did not significantly protect against POAG in African ancestry individuals. Individual factors were more influential, suggesting neighbourhood and socioeconomic factors may have a lesser impact than previously hypothesised.

Outcomes of Trabeculectomy and Predictors of Success in Patients of African Ancestry With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

This study underscores the low rates of trabeculectomy success and high rates of complications in an African ancestry population with POAG.

The Association between Glaucoma and Dementia in a National Cohort of All of Us Participants.

Glaucoma was associated with a higher risk of dementia across APOE genotypes, with varying associations among glaucoma and dementia subtypes.

Predictors of Glaucoma Conversion in an African Ancestry Cohort: A Longitudinal Study.

In glaucoma suspects of African ancestry, higher risk of POAG conversion is independently associated with higher IOP, absence of hypertension, and presence of myopia.

Risk factors associated with beta-peripapillary atrophy in individuals of African ancestry with primary open-angle glaucoma.

Beta-PPA is strongly associated with older age and high CDR among individuals with POAG. These regions are vulnerable to RNFL loss.

Association between Nucleoside and Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor Use and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Risk in All of Us.

Use of NRTIs was associated with a higher risk of POAG with propensity score matching for covariates and adjusting for residual imbalances.
