Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Cataracts are associated with the accumulation of galactose and galactitol in the lens. We determined the polygenetic risk scores for the best model (PRSBM) associated with age-related cataract (ARC) risk and their interaction with diets and lifestyles in 40,262 Korean adults aged over 50 years belonging to a hospital-based city cohort. METHODS: The genetic variants for ARC risk were selected in...
