Abstract

Objective: To investigate TGFB1 and LAMA1 gene polymorphisms in children with high myopia in order to determine the genetic basis of large myopic shifts causing severe visual impairment and complications.

Methods: Seventy-four children with high myopia (?6 diopters [D]; study group) and 77 emmetropic children (
