Accuracy and Implications of a Reported Family History of Glaucoma: Experience From the Glaucoma Inheritance Study in Tasmania

OBJECTIVES To ascertain the prevalence of previously undiagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) within 5 large POAG pedigrees and to evaluate the reliability of a reported family history of glaucoma within these pedigrees. METHODS The Glaucoma Inheritance Study in Tasmania (GIST) identified seve...

Zusammenfassung:OBJECTIVES To ascertain the prevalence of previously undiagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) within 5 large POAG pedigrees and to evaluate the reliability of a reported family history of glaucoma within these pedigrees. METHODS The Glaucoma Inheritance Study in Tasmania (GIST) identified several large adult POAG pedigrees. Intraocular pressure (IOP), optic disc stereophotography, and automated perimetry were performed on all adult pedigree members. Participants were classified as normal (IOP
