Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To estimate heritability and locate quantitative trait loci influencing axial length. DESIGN: Classic twin study of monozygotic and dizygotic twins reared together. PARTICIPANTS: Eight hundred ninety-three individuals from 460 families were recruited through the Twin Eye Study in Tasmani...
