متن کاملGenes and environment in refractive error: the twin eye study.
PURPOSE A classical twin study was performed to examine the relative importance of genes and environment in refractive error. METHODS Refractive error was examined in 226 monozygotic (MZ) and 280 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs aged 49 to 79 years (mean age, 62.4 years).
