23 Primary Outcome

Advancing knowledge in basic molecular genetics.

24 Secondary Outcome

1. Affirm chromosomal loci linked to myopia. 2. Identify new myopia genes. 3. Reveal the frequencies of specific sequence alterations in the new putative myopia gene(s) in the local Chinese population. 4. Establish a basis to study interactive effects between environmental and genetic factors that contribute to myopia.
