Abstract
Black patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, when compared to nonglaucomatous individuals, demonstrated significantly increased prevalences of the HL-A antigens B7 and B12 and significantly decreased frequencies of A1 and A11. White patients with primary open-angle glaucoma have in common with blacks the increases in B7 and B12 and the decrease in A11, but present no deficit of A1. White patients with primary open-angle glaucoma demonstrate a significant increase of A3 and a decrease of Bw35, which were not found in blacks.
