Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of high myopia with common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IGF1, IGFBP3, and IGFBP4 genes in a Chinese population. METHODS: For our case-control study, we recruited 600 unrelated participants: 300 case participants with high myopia (-8.00 diopters or less) and 300 emmetropic controls (within ±1.00 diopter). Twenty-one tag SNPs were selected from these...
