Patients in whom the angle recession extends for 240 to 360 degrees of the angle circumference (67 to 100%) frequently develop elevated IOP and glaucoma whereas patients with less extensive damage typically do not have high IOP, although their risk of progressing to glaucoma is increased.
Thus, aberrations of both neural crest and mesoderm cell migration or differentiation may contribute to anterior segment dysgenesis and glaucoma.
Although these findings are promising and implicate glutamate in retinal neurotoxicity in AKXD28 mice, further experiments are needed to completely characterize vitreous glutamate levels and their relationship to IOP and glaucoma in this strain.
It is becoming increasingly clear that many forms of glaucoma have a genetic component [ 6 7 ] , and much current research is focused on identifying chromosomal regions and genes that contribute to glaucoma [ 8 9 10 ] . Identifying such loci allows screening for individuals with an increased risk of developing glaucoma [ 11 ] . Identifying genes contributing to elevated IOP and glaucoma is only the first step, however, and animal models will provide systems for subsequent hypothesis testing and experimental dissection of pathogenesis.
D2 mice develop glaucoma involving a harmful increase of IOP followed by RGC loss and optic nerve damage [ 11].
