PURPOSE: To study the relationships between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of lumican, decorin, and DSPG3 genes and high myopia. METHODS: One hundred and twenty adult patients with high myopia ( T) of the lumican gene, with a p value of 0. 000283. There was no significant relationship between other SNPs of lumican, decorin, and DSPG genes and high myopia. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that an SNP (rs3759223), which is located in the promoter region of the lumican gene, may be worth further investigation to determine its association with development of high myopia. ; 附設醫院眼科部 ; 醫學院附設醫院 ; 期刊論文
