Heritability of Refractive Error and Ocular Biometrics: The Genes in Myopia (GEM) Twin Study

25 Oct 2006

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: A classic twin study was undertaken to assess the contribution of genes and environment to the development of refractive errors and ocular biometrics in a twin population. METHODS: A total of 1224 twins (345 monozygotic [MZ] and 267 dizygotic [DZ] twin pairs) aged between 18 and 88 years were examined. All twins completed a questionnaire consisting of a medical history, education, and zygosity. Objective...
