Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGF-beta2), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and fibromodulin (FMOD) are important extracellular matrix components of the sclera and have been shown to be associated with the development of high myopia. Our aim was to examine the association between myopia and the polymorphisms within TGF-beta2, bFGF, and FMOD. METHODS: The study group comprised of patients (n=195;...
