The GEnes in Myopia (GEM) study in understanding the aetiology of refractive errors.

Progress in retinal and eye research - 1 Nov 2010

Baird Paul N, Schäche Maria, Dirani Mohamed

Abstract excerpt

Refractive errors represent the leading cause of correctable vision impairment and blindness in the world with an estimated 2 billion people affected. Refractive error refers to a group of refractive conditions including hypermetropia, myopia, astigmatism and presbyopia but relatively little is known about their aetiology. In order to explore the potential role of genetic determinants in refractive error the...
