Body stature and myopia-The Genes in Myopia (GEM) twin study.

Ophthalmic epidemiology - 1 Jan 2000

Dirani Mohamed, Islam Amirul, Baird Paul N

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: A consensus regarding whether a "myopia body stature" exists is still unclear with previous literature being inconsistent and conflicting. We wished to explore the relationship of body stature and myopia using a large Australian twin cohort [The Genes in Myopia (GEM) twin study]. METHO...
