ImportanceHigh myopia (HM) is one of the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. It is well-known that genetic factors play a significant role in the development of HM. Early school-aged population-based genetic screening and treatment should be performed to reduce HM complications. ObjectiveTo identify risk variants in a large HM cohort and to examine the implications of universal genetic testing of individuals with HM with respect to clinical decision-making. Design, set...
