Heritability Analysis of Spherical Equivalent Axial Length Corneal Curvature and Anterior Chamber Depth in the Beaver Dam Eye Study

摘要

ObjectiveQuantitative refraction and its related binary traits of myopia and hyperopia are highly correlated within families. Many linkage regions have been reported for myopia, high myopia, and quantitative refraction. However, the measured phenotype of refraction is in large part dictated by the relationship between the underlying optical components of axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth.
