Ocular biometric analysis revealed that axial length was the most likely trait underlying the refractive error association at the 15q14 locus for SNPs rs560766 (P =0.0054), rs634990 (P =0.0086), and rs8032019 (P =0.0081). Conclusions: Our results confirm the association with refractive error at the 15q14 locus but do not support the association observed at the 15q25 locus. Axial length seemed to be a major parameter at the 15q14 locus, underscoring the importance of this locus in myopia and future clinical treatment.

These included FBN1, ADAMTS2 and TGFB2 which associate with connective tissue disorders (Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos and Loeys-Dietz syndromes), and the LUM-DCN-KERA gene complex involved in myopia, corneal dystrophies and cornea plana. Using index CCT-increasing variants, we find a significant inverse correlation in effect sizes between CCT and keratoconus (r =-0.62, P = 5.30 × 10 -5 ) but not between CCT and primary open-angle glaucoma (r =-0.17, P = 0.2). Our findings provide evidence for shared genetic influences between CCT and keratoconus, and implicate candidate genes acting in collagen and extracellular matrix regulation.]]> Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:09:41 AEST ]]>
