Genetic Variants on Chromosome 1q41 Influence Ocular Axial Length and High Myopia
As one of the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness, myopia poses a significant public health burden in Asia. The primary determinant of myopia is an elongated ocular axial length (AL). Here we report a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies on AL conducted in 1,860 Chinese adults, 929 Chinese children, and 2,155 Malay adults. We identified a genetic locus on chromos...
متن کاملGenetic dissection of myopia: evidence for linkage of ocular axial length to chromosome 5q.
PURPOSE To estimate heritability and locate quantitative trait loci influencing axial length. DESIGN Classic twin study of monozygotic and dizygotic twins reared together. PARTICIPANTS Eight hundred ninety-three individuals from 460 families were recruited through the Twin Eye Study in Tasmania and the Brisbane Adolescent Twin Study (BATS) and had ocular axial length measured. METHODS Str...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of axial length genes in high grade myopia from Indian population☆
PURPOSE To study the putative association of Membrane frizzled related protein (MFRP) and Visual system homeobox protein (VSX2) gene variants with axial length (AL) in myopia. METHOD A total of 189 samples with (N = 98) and without (N = 91) myopia were genotyped for the MRFP and VSX2 variations in ABI Prism 3100 AVANT genetic analyzer. Genotype/haplotype analysis was performed using PLINK, Ha...
متن کاملInfluence of Ocular Dominance on Anisometropic Myopia
During Binocular viewing, the preferential use of dominant eye because of its increased static ciliary muscle tone, might allow the dominant eye more myopic then non dominant eye in anisometropic myopia. However certain studies found that, there was no apparent association between ocular dominance and refraction. The present study was therefore conducted to analyze, the effect of ocular dominan...
