TitelRefraction and genetics
Abstract Nr.1043
DoelRefraction errors are a public health stake. Environment and genetics are surely implicated. In our daily practice, we all have "family of" ametropic patients. We could therefore wonder which part genetics can explain.
MethodesReviewing studies about refractive errors.
ResultatenMyopics, hyperopic and astigmatics patients have been studied. Much more has been said about myopia. Genetics seems to be determinant in each refractive error, but locating the genes is a challenging program.
ConclusieGenetics is a relevant underlying cause of ametropia. The future (molecular genetics) should reveal us the responsible genes or the interaction between environment and predisposing genes.
