Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To characterize the shared genetic architecture underlying the frequent co-occurrence of myopia and exotropia. Methods: Leveraging large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, we examined the genetic correlation and polygenic overlap between myopia and exotropia. Candidate shared signals were prioritized through cross-trait meta-analysis using multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG) and further...
