Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To assess the relative influence of genetic and environmental factors on optic disc size and cup/disc ratio in healthy eyes. METHODS: A sample of 55 monozygotic and 50 dizygotic healthy twin pairs aged 20-46, all having the same sex within pairs (47 pairs were male) had optic discs measured from colour fundus photographs according to the Wisconsin Protocol. Structural equation modelling was used to...
