Recent advances in single nucleotide polymorphism study on pathological myopia relevant gene loci

Pathological myopia is one of the most common and severe hereditary ocular disease leading to blindness.A number of candidate genes of pathological myopia have been found.This article reviews the recent advances in studying the single nucleotide polymorphism of genes related to pathological myopia. Key words: Myopia,degenerative;  Candidate gene;  Polymorphism,single nucleotide
