Great day at the Australian Polygenic Research Summit on Monday. Prof Jamie Craig presented on the FHMRI Eye & Vision team's work on a model of management for glaucoma using PRS. Definitely catch the recording for those who missed it. Thanks to Peter Mac, Aus Genomics & UQ for organising!

Great paper led by Dr Nia Kolovos from our FHMRI Eye & Vision team about the use of genetic testing for glaucoma in the clinic. We describe the monogenic and polygenic contributors to glaucoma diagnosed across the lifespan to support clinicians seeing families with glaucoma.
