Genome-wide meta-analyses of multiancestry cohorts identify multiple new susceptibility loci for refractive error and myopia

Virginie J. M. Verhoeven, +128 more
- 01 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: The CREAM consortium conducted genome-wide meta-analyses, which identified 16 new loci for refractive error in individuals of European ancestry and 8 were shared with Asians, and identified 8 additional associated loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Education influences the role of genetics in myopia

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of a gene-environment interaction in which an individual’s genetic risk of myopia is significantly affected by his or her educational level, which is far higher than the sum of these two effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Shared Genetic Susceptibility to High and Low Myopia and Hyperopia

TL;DR: In this article, the same authors assess whether a common set of genetic variants are associated with susceptibility to low myopia (LM) and high myopia and hyperopia and find that treatment interventions targeting common genetic risk variants associated with refractive error could be effective against both LM and HM and that individuals with HM inherited a higher number of variants from among the same set of myopia-predisposing alleles compared with individuals with LM.
