Association of the ZC3H11B, ZFHX1B and SNTB1 genes with myopia of different severities.

CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed ZC3H11B as a susceptibility gene for high and extreme myopia, and ZFHX1B and SNTB for extreme myopia in Chinese populations. Instead of myopia onset, these three genes were more likely to impose risks of progressing to high and extreme myopia. PMID: 31300455 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
