Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: High myopia (HM) is a common cause of visual impairment worldwide. Previous genome-wide association studies have reported that seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs1254319, rs3138144, rs12205363, rs17648524, rs7829127, rs1656404, and , are associated with HM in Caucasians. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of these SNPs in Han Chinese. METHODS: SNPs...
