Polymorphisms in the CTNND2 Gene and 11q24.1 Genomic Region Are Associated with Pathological Myopia in a Chinese Population
Ophthalmologica, 07/27/2012
Yu Z et al. – Haplotype linkage analysis identified 2 genomic blocks in 11q24.1 that were independently associated with pathological myopia. Specific polymorphisms in the CTNND2 gene and 11q24.1 genomic region were found to be significantly associated with pathological myopia in this Chinese population, further supporting the idea that these genomic regions carry susceptibility loci for this disease.
