Frank-Kamentsky glaucoma, a hereditary disease of the eyes, is transmitted females with X-linked type. It is accompanied by typical progressive lesions in the stroma and the iridal pigment sheet at the background of goniodisgenesis. Males suffer from this disease most frequently. Glaucoma develops in the second and third decades of life. Its course resembles that of open-angle glaucoma. Megalocornea and goniodysgenesis are aggravating factors predisposing to glaucoma. Microsymptoms in the iris of female conductors can serve as a prognostic test when planning progeny.LA: Russian
