Method for determining risk of onset of primary open-angle glaucoma (broadly defined)

A method for assisting the diagnosis of a subject's risk of onset of primary open-angle glaucoma (broadly defined) including an allele measurement step that measures the alleles of at least 30 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) including the core SNP group of 12 listed in table 1 and SNP selected from the pool SNP group listed in table 2 (pool-selected SNP group) on the basis of SNP allele information in a biological sample collected from a subject, an information acquisition step that acquires information on the subject's risk of onset of primary open-angle glaucoma (broadly defined) on the basis of the allele measurement results, and an information provision step that provides information for determining the subject's risk of onset of primary open-angle glaucoma (broadly defined) on the basis of the information obtained above. This method determines whether a sample provider is at risk of onset of POAG (broadly defined) by analyzing the SNP groups of the invention present in the sample and can also predict the level of risk.
