The heritability of ocular traits.

Survey of ophthalmology - 1 Jan 2000

Sanfilippo Paul G, Hewitt Alex W, Hammond Chris J, Mackey David A

Abstract excerpt

Heritability is the proportion of phenotypic variation in a population that is attributable to genetic variation among individuals. Many ophthalmic disorders and biometric traits are known to have a genetic basis and consequently much work has been published in the literature estimating the heritability of various ocular parameters. We collated and summarized the findings of heritability studies conducted in the...
