متن کاملA canine model of inherited myopia: familial aggregation of refractive error in labrador retrievers.
PURPOSE To determine whether the distribution of naturally occurring myopia in Labrador Retrievers has a genetic component. METHODS Pedigree records of a large canine family were analyzed. Pure Labrador Retrievers, 1 to 8 years of age, free of ocular disease, and available for testing were studied. Refractive error was measured by cycloplegic retinoscopy in both eyes. The family included mati...
متن کاملComparison of BMI and Physical Activity Between Old Order Amish Children and Non-Amish Children
