Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess heritability of myopia in Lithuania and evaluate both genes GJD2 (Gap Junction Protein, Delta 2) and RASGRF1 (RAS protein-specific guanine nucleotide-releasing factor 1) relation with myopia. METHODS: In this study Lithuanian twin population aged between 18 and 40 (n = 460) were examined. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the RASGRF1 (rs8027411) and GJD2 (rs634990) genes...
