Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify null mutations in novel genes associated with early-onset high myopia using whole exome sequencing. METHODS: Null mutations, including homozygous and compound heterozygous truncations, were selected from whole exome sequencing data for 298 probands with early-onset high myopia. These data were compared with those of 507 probands with other forms of eye diseases. Null mutations specific to...
