Two recent genome-wide association studies have identified loci on chromosomes 15q25 and 15q14 associated with refractive error in Caucasian populations. Our study aimed to assess the association of these 2 loci with refractive error and ocular biometric measures in an independent ethnically matched Caucasian cohort....
