Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the causal link between ametropia and diabetic retinopathy, as well as to offer genetic support for the association between these two conditions. METHODS: This study employed a methodology involving the utilisation of genome-wide association studies data that are publicly accessible. Specifically, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that exhibit a strong association with ametropia...
