Glaucoma polygenic risk score

(PI: Co-PIs: Professor Jamie Craig, Professor Stuart MacGregor, Associate Professor Owen Siggs, Professor Alex Hewitt)

Glaucoma is the most common cause of irreversible blindness, and one of the most heritable common diseases. Together with academic, clinical, and industry partners, we are developing an accredited polygenic risk score to improve the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. We have projects exploring new clinical indications, technical enhancements, reporting, and clinical implementation.

The Centre for Population Genomics is a joint national initiative of Garvan Institute of Medical Research and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. The Institutes are national leaders in genomic research, with complementary strengths spanning large-scale genomics, data science, population health, and clinical impact.
