AI analyzes retinal images to map population genetics and glaucoma risk

Researchers have analyzed the population structure of an inbred group on Norfolk Island using quantitative shape phenotyping from stereo retinal photographs. A deep neural network was employed to decompose the optic nerve head shape into hierarchical features, which were then used to identify distinct population groups. This image analysis approach could potentially reveal new genetic risk factors for glaucoma and other eye diseases. AI
