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 rs7084402, are associated with HM in Caucasians. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of these SNPs in Han Chinese. METHODS: SNPs...
