Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: We studied the relationship between high myopia and the MMP3 and TIMP1 genes. DESIGN: Case-control study. METHODS: We enrolled 150 high myopic individuals (< or = -6 diopters) and 262 controls (> or = -1.5 diopters) initially, and another 216 cases and 474 controls were enrolled for genotyping promising polymorphisms for replication. Thirteen polymorphisms were genotyped in the initial data. Logistic...
