Abstract excerpt

This study aims to estimate the familial risks of pterygium and assess its relative contributions to environmental and genetic factors using the 2000-2017 Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The marginal Cox's model and the polygenic liability model were made. In Taiwan, the prevalence rate of pterygium in 2017 was 1.64% for individuals with affected first-degree relatives, higher than the general...
