title: ABO-blood groups and D-antigen in simple and capsular glaucoma.
abstract: ABO-blood groups and Rh-factor (D-antigen) were determined in 236 patients with POAG, 104 simple and 132 capsular glaucoma. There was a statistical significant difference in the ABO-distribution between the two glaucoma subgroups, and also between the capsular-group and our control material. The simplex-group did not differ from the control material in this respect. For the Rh-group (D-antigen) no differences were found, neither between the two glaucoma subgroups nor between each of them and a reference material.
