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 sheet-shaped composition is provided which has an improved preservability and handling readiness, as well as a high flexibility in use. Amnion with trehalose added thereto is utilized. Addition of trehalose improves the flexibility of the amnion, and prevents basal membrane and stratum compactum from being damaged during lyophilization process.

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).
