Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: To date, relatively few genes responsible for a fraction of heritability have been identified by means of large genetic association studies of refractive error. OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic mechanisms that lead to refractive error in the general population. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Genome-wide association studies were carried out in 2 British population-based independent cohorts...
