PURPOSE: We investigated the association between refractive error in a Japanese population and myopia-related genes identified in two recent large-scale genome-wide association studies. METHODS: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 51 genes that were reported by the Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopia and/or the 23andMe database were genotyped in 3712 healthy Japanese volunteers from the Nagahama...
