Abstract excerpt
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify potential drug targets for myopia and explore underlying mechanisms. Methods: Mendelian randomization (MR) was implemented to assess the effect of 2684 pharmacologically targetable genes in the blood and retina on the risk of myopia from a genomewide association study (GWAS) for age-at-onset of spectacle wearing-inferred mean spherical equivalent (MSE; discovery...
