Glaucoma is a disease that can silently damage the optic nerve and, if detected late, irreversibly reduce vision. A genetic test is designed to estimate the risk of the disease, which may help identify people who need closer care and follow-up.
International Study Finds Polygenic Risk Score May Predict Glaucoma Development, Progression, and Surgery Risk
Key Takeaways Individuals in the highest genetic risk decile had approximately 100 times the odds of glaucoma compared with those in the lowest decile across 3 validation datasets Higher polygenic risk was associated with retinal nerve fiber layer loss, treatment escalation, and increased likelihood of glaucoma surgery Incorporating genetic risk scores into clinical assessments may improve early identification and individualized monitori…
