Abstract
To report a case of primary infantile glaucoma occurring in only one of two identical twins. Case reports. Clinical features of bilateral primary infantile glaucoma in one of the two twins at age 16 months are described. Polymorphic DNA markers were used to establish identical twinship. Our finding suggests that nongenetic factors must be considered in determining the origin of primary infantile glaucoma.
