Novel locus for X linked recessive high myopia maps to Xq23–q25 but outside MYP1

摘要

BackgroundHigh myopia is a common genetic variation in most cases, affecting 1–2% of people, and is the fourth most common disorder causing blindness worldwide. Six autosomal dominant loci and one X‐linked recessive locus have been reported, but no genes responsible for high myopia have been identified.
