Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Several nonsyndromic high-grade myopia loci have been mapped primarily by microsatellite markers and a limited number of pedigrees. In this study, whole-genome linkage scans were performed for high-grade myopia, using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 254 families from five independent sites. METHODS: Genomic DNA samples from 1411 subjects were genotyped (Linkage Panel IVb; Illumina, San Diego,...
