TY - JOUR AU - Ding, Xiaohu AU - Chen, Yanxian AU - He, Mingguang PY - 2018 TI - An update of the Guangzhou Twin Eye Study JF - Annals of Eye Science; Vol 3 (July 2018): Annals of Eye Science Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - The Guangzhou Twin Eye Study (GTES) is a population-based study of young twins residing in Guangzhou City. The major aim of GTES is to explore the impact of genes, environmental factors and gene-environment interactions on common eye diseases. From 2006, for more than 1,300 twin pairs, age 7–26 years old, progressive ocular phenotypes, such as refraction, ocular biometrics, weight, and height were collected annually, while non-progressive phenotypes such as parental refraction, corneal thickness, retinal fundus, intraocular pressure and DNA only collected at baseline. In the current study, we summarize the major findings on the etiology of myopia in recent decades. UR - https://aes.amegroups.org/article/view/4375
