Abstract
Although the blinding eye disease glaucoma is more common in people of African ancestry, previous genetic studies predominantly involved European subjects. In this issue of Cell, O'Brien etal. report a genome-wide association study for glaucoma in individuals of African ancestry, showing overlap with European studies and refining an African polygenic risk score.
