Association between birth weight and refractive error in adulthood: a Mendelian randomisation study

16 May 2019

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pathological myopia is one of the leading causes of blindness globally. Lower birth weight (BW) within the normal range has been reported to increase the risk of myopia, although findings conflict. We sought to estimate the causal effect of BW on refractive error using Mendelian randomisation (MR), under the assumption of a linear relationship. METHODS: Genetic variants associated with BW were...
