Risk factors for myopia in a discordant monozygotic twin study

17 Sept 2015

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant for disease allow careful examination of environmental factors whilst controlling for genetic variation. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in environmental risk factors in MZ twins discordant for myopia. METHODS: Sixty four MZ twin pairs discordant for refractive error were interviewed. Discordant twins were selected from 1326 MZ twin pairs from...
