Abstract: A method of determining the presence or the absence of a glaucoma risk by detecting in vitro an allele and/or a genotype of a single nucleotide polymorphism, comparing the allele and/or the genotype detected with at least one of an allele and/or a genotype with a high-risk allele, wherein the presence of a glaucoma risk is determined in a case where the allele detected is the high-risk allele, or the presence of a glaucoma risk is determined in a case where the genotype detected is a homozygote of the genotype comprising the high-risk allele or a heterozygote when the high-risk allele complies with a dominant genetic model, or the presence of a glaucoma risk is determined in a case where the genotype detected is a homozygote of the genotype comprising the high-risk allele when the high-risk allele complies with a recessive genetic model.

Abstract: A method of determining the presence or the absence of a glaucoma risk, including the steps of detecting in vitro an allele and/or a genotype of a single nucleotide polymorphism which is located on a 31st base of a base sequence, in a sample from a subject, wherein the base sequence is at least one base sequence selected from the group consisting of base sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs: 203 to 514 or a complementary sequence thereto (step A), and comparing the allele and/or the genotype detected in the step A with at least one of an allele and/or a genotype, containing a high-risk allele, in the base sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs: 203 to 514 (step B).
