  ABSTRACT: Glaucoma, a disease characterized by progressive optic nerve degeneration, can be prevented through timely diagnosis and treatment. We characterized optic nerve photographs of 67,040 UK Biobank participants and used a multitrait genetic model to identify risk loci for glaucoma. A novel glaucoma polygenic risk score (PRS) enables effective risk stratification in unselected glaucoma cases, and modifies penetrance of MYOC p.Gln368Ter, the most common glaucoma-associated myocilin variant. In the unselected glaucoma population, individuals in the top PRS decile reach an absolute risk for glaucoma 10 years earlier than the bottom decile, and are at 15-fold increased risk of developing advanced glaucoma (top 10% vs. remaining 90% OR = 4.20). The PRS predicts glaucoma progression in pros
