Although RGCs are generally accepted to be the major cell type affected in human glaucoma, and to our knowledge INL and photoreceptor cell loss similar to that in AKXD28 has not been reported, there is evidence for INL and photoreceptor cell involvement in some human and monkey cases [ 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43].
Not all people with high IOP develop glaucoma [ 5], however, suggesting that other factors, such as genetic susceptibility to pressure-induced damage, interact with IOP to cause damage.
The molecular mechanisms responsible for normal or abnormal development of the iridocorneal angle, its structures, and increased resistance to aqueous drainage in glaucoma are not well defined.
Abnormal anterior segment development is often associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), an important risk factor for the blinding disease glaucoma [ 1].
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.
