Replication study of significant single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with myopia from two genome-wide association studies.


ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: Two previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of high myopia in a Japanese population found several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the disease. The present study examined whether these markers are associated with myopia in a Chinese population. METHODS: Individuals with or without complex myopia were recruited from Chinese university students, and probands with early onset high myopia were identified in the Pediatric and Genetic Eye Clinic of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. DNA was prepared from venous leukocytes. Three SNPs, rs577948 and rs11218544 at chromosome position 11q24.1 and rs2839471 at chromosome position 21q22.3, were genotyped. The allele and genotype frequencies of these SNPs were compared between the myopia cases and controls using a ?(2) test. RESULTS: A total of 2,870 subjects were examined in this study, including 1,255 individuals with complex myopia (-10.00 diopter (D)
