A locus for autosomal dominant juvenile onset primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) was recently assigned to chromosome region 1q21-q31. In the present study, a large Greek family with autosomal dominant adult onset POAG was investigated using microsatellite markers. Exclusion of linkage of the adult onset POAG gene to the region D1S194-D1S191 was obtained in this pedigree. Therefore, the data provide evidence that juvenile and adult onset POAG are genetically distinct disease entities.
常染色体显性遗传的青少年型原发性开角型青光眼(POAG)的一个基因座最近被定位到染色体区域1q21 - q31。在本研究中,利用微卫星标记对一个患有常染色体显性遗传成人型POAG的大型希腊家族进行了研究。在这个家系中排除了成人型POAG基因与区域D1S194 - D1S191的连锁关系。因此,这些数据提供了证据,表明青少年型和成人型POAG是基因上不同的疾病实体。
