Hereditary glaucoma

Hereditary glaucoma is a heterogenous group of diseases with elevated intraocular pressure. It occurs with open angle. Juvenile and late onset forms can be distinguished.

Test Strategy

If glaucoma is congenital or hereditary, molecular diagnostic could be considered.

Pathogenesis

As this group is heterogenous different pathogenetic mechanisms can be separated. Different types of inheritance are possible as well.
