[Genetic predisposition in glaucoma].

The comparative study of the genetic factors implication in low-tension and high-tension glaucoma showed the presence of glaucoma familial cases in both form. In 3 cases of low-tension glaucoma the presence of other familial cases of high-tension glaucoma was revealed. The existence of hereditary cases of high-tension glaucoma in families with low-tension glaucoma suggests the existence of some common factors, responsible for producing both affections. On the other hand, the systematic research of the existent glaucomatous deficits at the patients with glaucoma familial cases deserves greater attention.
