Description : Primary congenital glaucoma is the most common type of childhood glaucoma, with autosomal recessive inheritance and an incidence ranging from 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 1,250. Signs of the disease include early onset (birth to 3 years of age), increased intraocular pressure, increased corneal diameter, enlarged globe, Haab striae (breaks in Descemet membrane), corneal edema, and optic nerve head cupping. Congenital glaucoma is a chronic disease and a serious cause of blindness worldwide (summary by Azmanov et al., 2011). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Primary Congenital Glaucoma Primary congenital glaucoma-3B (GLC3B; 600975) maps to chromosome 1p36.2-p36.1. GLC3C (613085) maps to chromosome 14q24.3. GLC3D (613086) is caused by mutation in the LTBP2 gene (602091) located on chromosome 14q24 but outside the locus for GLC3C.;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the cytochrome P450, subfamily I, dioxin-inducible, polypeptide 1 gene (CYP1B1, 601771.0001);

Prefixed ID : #231300;
