Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To identify myopia susceptibility genes influencing common myopia in 94 African-American and 36 White families. DESIGN: A prospective study of families with myopia consisting of a minimum of two individuals affected with myopia. METHODS: Extended families consisting of at least two siblings affected with myopia were ascertained. A genome-wide linkage scan using 387 markers was conducted by the Center for...
