Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the association between high myopia (HM) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the myocilin (MYOC), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET), and aggrecan (ACAN) genes in a Han Chinese population. METHODS: Sixteen SNPs were genotyped by the SNaPshot method in a subject group composed of 1052 HM patients and 1070 controls. Statistical analysis was...
