Education and myopia: assessing the direction of causality by mendelian randomisation

6 Jun 2018

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether more years spent in education is a causal risk factor for myopia, or whether myopia is a causal risk factor for more years in education. DESIGN: Bidirectional, two sample mendelian randomisation study. SETTING: Publically available genetic data from two consortiums applied to a large, independent population cohort. Genetic variants used as proxies for myopia and years of education...
