SVEP1 as a Genetic Modifier of TEK-Related Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

We provide further evidence for PCG caused by TEK haploinsufficiency, affirm autosomal dominant inheritance in two pedigrees, and propose SVEP1 as a modifier of TEK expression during SC development, affecting disease penetrance and severity.

Determining Possible Shared Genetic Architecture Between Myopia and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Using two complementary approaches we found no evidence to support a genetic overlap between myopia and POAG; our results suggest that the comorbidity of these diseases is not influenced by common variants.

Comparative Intraoperative Anterior Segment OCT Findings in Pediatric Patients with and without Glaucoma.

Intraoperative AS OCT identified differences in the presence and characteristics of SC and the anterior chamber angle in pediatric patients with and without glaucoma. Further studies are needed to determine clinical correlation.

Glaucoma Cascade Screening in a High Risk Afro-Caribbean Haitian Population: A Pilot Study.

Glaucoma cascade screening of Haitian JOAG patients' FDRs revealed that 30.8% had suspected or manifest glaucoma. Future efforts centered on provider-initiated recruitment and improving public glaucoma awareness and education may increase screening participation.
