Abstract excerpt
Background: Myopia is one of the most prevalent eye diseases worldwide, and its incidence is increasing. However, effective pharmaceutical treatments remain limited. We aimed to identify blood proteins causally associated with myopia as potential drug targets. Methods: We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis involving 43 862 myopia cases and 84 820 controls. Then, we conducted a...
