Wojciechowski R. Nature and nurture: the complex genetics of myopia and refractive error.
The refractive errors, myopia and hyperopia, are optical defects of the visual system that can …

Refractive error is the most common eye disorder worldwide and is a prominent cause of
blindness. Myopia affects over 30% of Western populations and up to 80% of Asians. The …

The investigation of the genetic basis of refractive error and myopia entered a new stage
with the introduction of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Multiple GWAS on many …

Refractive errors, including myopia, are the most frequent eye disorders worldwide and an
increasingly common cause of blindness. This genome-wide association meta-analysis in …

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. Despite its gravity, the
disease is frequently undiagnosed in the community. Raised intraocular pressure (IOP) is …

Glaucoma, a disease characterized by progressive optic nerve degeneration, can be
prevented through timely diagnosis and treatment. We characterize optic nerve photographs …

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important risk factor in developing glaucoma, and
variability in IOP might herald glaucomatous development or progression. We report the …

Refractive errors are common eye disorders of public health importance worldwide. Ocular
axial length (AL) is the major determinant of refraction and thus of myopia and hyperopia …

Refractive errors, in particular myopia, are a leading cause of morbidity and disability
worldwide. Genetic investigation can improve understanding of the molecular mechanisms …

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), the most common optic neuropathy, is a heritable
disease. Siblings of POAG cases have a ten-fold increased risk of developing the disease …
