Abstract excerpt

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to perform genetic linkage analysis and association analysis on exome genotyping from highly aggregated African American families with nonpathogenic myopia. African Americans are a particularly understudied population with respect to myopia. Methods: One hundred six African American families from the Philadelphia area with a family history of myopia were genotyped using an...
