Genetics of Glaucoma in High-risk Diverse Populations (GoGLAD) Study
REFNo: HS3427ES

General objective
To apply and critically evaluate the efficacy of genetic-based risk prediction models for glaucoma in an understudied, high-risk, genetically diverse continental African population in Uganda.

Specific objectives
1. To test the feasibility of collecting quality pilot clinical data on glaucoma related phenotypes, genetic data from a unique high-risk diverse population in Uganda.
2. To assess cross-ancestry genetic-based prediction of glaucoma risk in major diverse ancestry populations.
2A- To apply our current European-based genetic prediction model of glaucoma to a high-risk population of African ancestry from Uganda.
2B - To develop, and calibrate an African ancestry genetic prediction model of glaucoma and implement it in populations of European and African ancestries.
2C- To develop, model and calibrate a cross-ancestry genetic prediction model and apply it in populations of European and African ancestries.
3. To apply artificial intelligence to eye images to characterise ancestral differences in glaucoma risk and evaluate estimation of disease risk and progression.
4. To assess participants’ attitude towards genetic testing for glaucoma.
