Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To assess the heritability of central corneal thickness (CCT) in Chinese children in a classic twin study. METHODS: Twins aged 8 to 16 years were recruited from the Guangzhou Twin Registry. Pachymetry data were obtained by one operator using the same imaging system. Zygosity was confirmed by genotyping with 16 polymorphic markers in all same-sex twin pairs. The CCT of the right eyes was chosen as the...
