Per criteria outlined by the ClinGen Lumping & Splitting Working Group, the molecular mechanism (loss-of-function) was found to be consistent among patients diagnosed with primary congenital glaucoma-3E (MONDO:0014998, MIM #617272), while their shared phenotypes indicated a spectrum of disease. However, in order to acknowledge the broader spectrum of onset and variable expressivity of the disease entity, this group proposes to remove the term "congenital" and recommend the name TEK-related primary glaucoma.
