DNA sequence variants in the tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1) gene are not associated with human pigmentary glaucoma.

Purpose: Pigmentary glaucoma is a common form of glaucoma affecting young adults. Previous studies have suggested that multiple factors, including multiple genetic factors, may be responsible for this condition. Recently, a form of glaucoma associated with pigment dispersion and iris atrophy was identified in the DBA/2J mouse.

Comparison of successful and unsuccessful community-placed mentally retarded persons.

Differences in the characteristics of unsuccessful and successful community-placed clients were examined. Discriminant function analysis identified a maladaptive behavior factor and sex to be significant discriminators between the two groups. Unsuccessful clients manifested a significantly higher frequency of every maladaptive behavior assessed by the maladaptive variable.
