Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: A genome-wide scan was previously reported for myopia in Ashkenazi Jews. In order to confirm the previous linkage peaks, a collection of DNA samples from 19 new Ashkenazi Jewish families were tested for linkage in a genome wide scan. METHODS: Families were ascertained from an Orthodox Ashkenazi Jewish community through mailings. Myopia was defined as equal to or greater than -1 diopter in both meridians...
