New genetic test identifies individuals at high risk of glaucoma

Researchers at QIMR Berghofer and Flinders University, in collaboration with international partners, have developed a genetic test that can identify people with up to ten times the normal risk of developing open-angle glaucoma. This form of glaucoma is the most common and a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. The test represents a significant advancement in early detection and risk assessment for this serious eye condition.
