Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between high myopia (HM) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in collagen, type XI, alpha 1 (COL11A1) and collagen, type XVIII, alpha 1 (COL18A1) genes in a Han Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 869 patients with HM and 804 controls were recruited for this study. The genotyping of five SNPs in COL11A1 and COL18A1 was performed using the SNaPshot...
