Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A previous study of Old Order Amish families showed an association of ocular refraction with markers proximal to matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes MMP1 and MMP10 and intragenic to MMP2. A candidate gene replication study of association between refraction and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within these genomic regions was conducted. DESIGN: Candidate gene genetic association study....
