    Kitsos G, Petrou Z, Grigoriadou M, Samples JR, Hewitt AW, Kokotas H, Giannoulia-Karantana A, Mackey DA, Wirtz MK, Moschou M, Ioannidis JP, Petersen MB. Clin Ophthalmol. 2010: 4 171-8

    Mutations in the MYOC gene have been shown to explain 5% of unrelated primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in different populations. In particular, the T377M MYOC mutation has arisen at least three separate times in history, in Great Britain, India, and Greece. The purpose of this study is to investigate the distribution of the mutation among different population groups in the northwestern region of Greece.
