Abstract excerpt
Background Results from animal models and observational studies have raised concerns regarding the potential cataractogenic effects of statin treatment. We investigated whether common and rare genetic variants in HMGCR are associated with cataract risk, to gauge the likely long-term effects of statin treatment on lenticular opacities. Methods and Results We used genotyping data and exome sequencing data of...
