title: HLA antigens-risk factors for primary open-angle glaucoma?
abstract: The comparison of the HLA A, B, and C phenotypes of 70 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with the phenotypes of 450 healthy control individuals and the rather discordant data published by other investigators show that there is no genetical influence of HLA A, HLA B, or HLA C genes on POAG and on the clinical complications associated with this disease.
