Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Myopia (short sightedness) is a complex trait influenced by as yet unidentified genetic factors. To date, there have been four myopia susceptibility loci (MYP7 to -10) identified in twin studies, but these are yet to be independently verified. In an independent yet ethnically and phenotypically similar twin cohort, linkage to these chromosomal regions was sought. METHODS: Participants were 223 dizygotic...
