Forty-six patients each with POAG and PACG and 46 healthy controls were enrolled. Flow cytometry was utilized to determine CD38 expression levels in three lymphocyte subset groups. Spearman\u2019s correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of CD38 expression levels with glaucoma severity. Receiver operating characteristic analysis evaluated the discriminatory power of CD38 expression for primary glaucoma. Compared with the control group, CD38 expression levels were upregulated in CD4+ T cells (P &amp;lt; 0.0001) and regulatory T (Treg) cells (P &amp;lt; 0.001) in the POAG group and in CD4+ T cells in the PACG group (P &amp;lt; 0.0001). Additionally, the expression levels of CD38 in CD4+ T cells (R = \u22120.63, P &amp;lt; 0.0001) and Treg cells (R = \u22120.44, P &amp;lt; 0.001) showed a negative correlation with the mean deviation in the POAG group. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for distinguishing POAG using CD38 expression in CD4+ T and Treg cells were 0.745 and 0.683, respectively (both P &amp;lt; 0.05). To our knowledge, this is the first study to report that CD38 + CD4+ T cells and CD38+ Treg cells are associated with the onset and severity of POAG. Therefore, CD38 expression warrants further investigation as a potential immunological indicator associated with POAG.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/cei\/uxaf072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,2]],"date-time":"2025-12-02T12:54:11Z","timestamp":1764680051000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["CD38
