Developmental defects in the anterior segment structures lead to anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) and primary congenital glaucoma (PCG), which share overlapping clinical features. Several genes have been mapped and characterized in ASD, some of which are also involved in other glaucoma phenotypes. PCG exhibits genetic heterogeneity like ASD, but the known genes do not account for the entire genetic basis of the disease. Considering the significant phenotypic and genotypic overlap between ASD and PCG, this article explores the possible involvements of ASD-associated genes in PCG pathogenesis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A nonsystematic search in PubMed was performed using various combinations of keywords related to ASD, glaucoma, genetics, and molecular mechanisms, and articles published up until March 2024 were considered.
