Significance Because preschool children encounter fewer risks from environmental pressures, we propose that the condition of early-onset high myopia (EOHM) is driven by a genetic predisposition more than factors. In this study, recruited 18 familial trios to decipher using whole-exome sequencing. We identified cluster unique genes linked EOHM, as well mutations in reported genes. Notably, showed both rare inherited and de novo significantly contributed EOHM. Expression profiling ocular...

Purpose: High myopia (HM) is defined as a refractive error worse than −6.00 diopter (D). This study aims to update the phenotypic and genotypic landscape of nonsyndromic HM establish biological link between traits genetic deficiencies. Methods: A cross-sectional involving 731 participants varying in error, axial length (AL), age, myopic retinopathy, visual impairment. The were analyzed by four ophthalmologists while mutational screening was performed eight autosomal causative genes. Finally,...

Ocular coloboma is a developmental structural defect of the eye that often occurs as complex ocular anomalies. However, its genetic etiology remains largely unexplored. Here we report identification mutation (c.331C>T, p.R111C) in IPO13 gene consanguineous family with coloboma, microphthalmia, and cataract by combination whole-exome sequencing homozygosity mapping. encodes an importin-B protein has been proven to be associated pathogenesis microphthalmia. We found Ipo13 was expressed cornea,...

Abstract Clinical studies have demonstrated an association between high myopia (HM) and neuropsychiatric disorders; however, the underlying mechanism of is not clear. We used whole exome sequencing (WES) in combination with Genetic Variants Classification Criteria Guidelines published by American College Medical Genetics (ACMG) bioinformatics analysis to clarify interrelationship candidate genes. Causative genes for ocular diseases (45.38%) followed disorders (22.69%) accounted highest...

Purpose Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have verified eight genetic loci that were significantly associated with primary angle–closure glaucoma (PACG). The present study investigated whether these variants are the ocular biometric parameters of anterior chamber depth (ACD) and axial length (AL) in a northern Chinese population, as well there differences markers our cohort based on ethnicity. Methods A case-control 500 patients 720 controls was undertaken. All individuals...
