HLA histocompatibility antigens in open-angle glaucoma.
HLA-typing of 125 patients with open-angle glaucoma (glaucoma simplex) showed no statistically significant deviations from a control series of 1197 blood donors. Some earlier, but mutually inconsistent, reports contradict this result. In evaluating investigations of this kind care must be taken to avoid statistical pitfalls.
