Gene: [01q2/MYOC] myocilin; trabecular meshwork inducible glucocorticoid response protein (TIGR); glaucoma 1, open angle, A (juvenile onset; MIM:137750); [GLC1A JOAG ]

COM	Belmouden-1997 assigned the MYOC gene to Chr 1q23-25, most likely to 1q24. Kubota-1997 refined the location to Chr 1q23-24 by fluorescence in situ hybridization."
PAT	Primary open angle glaucoma is a common ocular disorder with a characteristic degeneration of the optic nerve and visual field defects that is often associated with an elevated intraocular pressure."
HET	Five forms of adult-onset primary open angle glaucoma had been distinguished by linkage studies: GLC1B, mapped to Chr 2q1 (GEM:02q1/GLC1B); GLC1C, mapped to Chr 3q2 (GEM:03q2/GLC1C); GLC1D, mapped to Chr 8q23 (GEM:08q23/GLC1D); GLC1E, mapped to Chr 10p15-p14 (GEM:10p1/GLC1E); and GLC1F, not mapped yet (GEM:00.0/GLC1F)."
