Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) disproportionately affects individuals of African ancestry, yet rare coding variation in this population remains understudied. To address this gap, we performed a multi-cohort exome-wide meta-analysis across POAAGG, PMBB, All of Us, and UK Biobank, including 4,815 POAG cases and 22,922 controls of genetically inferred African ancestry. Although no gene reached exome-wide significance, we identified several suggestive gene-level associations driven by rare varia...
