EFEMP1 contributes to light-dependent ocular growth in zebrafish
2023-12-18
Abstract excerpt
Myopia (short-sightedness) is the most common ocular disorder. It generally develops after over-exposure to aberrant visual environments, disrupting emmetropization mechanisms that should match eye growth with optical power. A pre-screening of strongly associated myopia-risk genes identified through human genome-wide association studies implicates efemp1 in myopia development, but how this gene impacts ocular gro...
