Methods of diagnosing primary congenital glaucoma, by detecting particular mutations in a human cytochrome P4501B1 (CYP1B1) gene, are disclosed. Method s include hybridization analysis, such as Southern or Northern analysis, which use hybridization of a mutant nucleic acid probe to the CYP1B1 gene; direct mutation analysis by restriction digest; sequencing of the CYP1B1 gene; hybridization of an allele-specific oligonucleotide with amplified genomic DNA; or identification of the presence of mutant proteins encoded by the CYP1B1 gene. |
