Lack of association of histocompatibility antigens with primary open-angle glaucoma
R. Ritch, S. M. Podos, W. Henley, A. Moss, A. L. Southern and M. Fotino
Eighty-seven patients (35 with primary open-angle glaucoma, 20 with
angle-closure glaucoma, and 32 controls) underwent HLA typing of peripheral
lymphocytes. Sixteen specificities were detected at the A locus, 19 at the
B locus, and four at the C locus. No significant differences were found
between patients with either type of glaucoma and control patients.
