  • Publication number: 20130275349
    Abstract: Provided is a technique for determining a physiological attribute in a mammal, including the onset or progression of human glaucoma, with high accuracy. The results of the determination of genotype date and the results of the determination of cytokine date are consolidated by a consolidated determination unit (114); comparison is made for determining as to which is larger, the number of Case determination procedures or the number of control determination procedures (S330); and it is determined as Case (glaucoma) when the number of Case determination procedures is larger and it is determined as Control (normal person) when the number of Control determination procedures is larger.
