Abstract
Myopia is an important cause of blindness, in which an image is focused in front of the retina. Genetic factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of myopia. Based on the molecular genetic study, some genetic loci linked to myopia have been mapped, but no disease-causing gene has been identified. Here authors review the genetic study on myopia, including gene mapping and candidate gene screening.
