ABO‐blood groups and Rh‐factor (D‐antigen) were determined in 236 patients with POAG, 104 simple and 132 capsular glaucoma. There was a statistical significant difference in the ABO‐distribution between the two glaucoma subgroups, and also between the capsular‐group and our control material. The simplex‐group did not differ from the control material in this respect. For the Rh‐group (D‐antigen) no differences were found, neither between the two glaucoma subgroups nor between each of them and a reference material.
