Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

High myopia (pathological myopia) is caused by excessive axial elongation that primarily involves the ora-equatorial area and the posterior pole. Peripheral fundus changes and posterior staphyloma formation are ophthalmoscopic evidences of this process. Pathological myopia often accompanied by glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment, leading to blindness when the damage to the retina is extremely severe. Population and family studies in Chinese have provided evidence for a genetic component to pathologic myopia. Children of myopic parents are more likely to have myopia than are children of nonmyopic parents. The ocular components (axial length, anterior chamber depth, and corneal curvature) and refractive errors of MZ twins are more closely aligned than are those of DZ twins.

Therefore, it is possible to search a potential candidate gene for myopia through the genomic study of pathological myopia.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* They are unrelated Chinese subjects with high myopia ≦-6.00D. The diagnosis of myopia is determined by the refractive error. Anisometropic individuals, with a refractive error of ≦-6.00 D for one eye and ≦-6.00 D for the other eye, with at least a 2-D difference between the two eyes, are considered unaffected.

Exclusion Criteria

* Individuals are excluded if there is known ocular disease or insult that could predispose to myopia, such as retinopathy of prematurity or early-age media opacification, or if they had a known genetic disease associated with myopia, such as Stickler or Marfan syndrome.
