Sažetak
Myopia can cause severe visual impairment. Here, we report a two-stage genome-wide association study for three myopia-related traits in 9, 804 Japanese individuals, which was extended with trans-ethnic replication in 2, 674 Chinese and 2, 690 Caucasian individuals. We identify WNT7B as a novel susceptibility gene for axial length (rs10453441, Pmeta =3.9 × 10-13) and corneal curvature (Pmeta =2.9 × 10-40) and confirm the previously reported association between GJD2 and myopia. WNT7B significantly associates with extreme myopia in a case-control study with 1, 478 Asian patients and 4, 689 controls (odds ratio (OR)meta =1.13, Pmeta =0.011). We also find in a mouse model of myopia downregulation of WNT7B expression in the cornea and upregulation in the retina, suggesting its possible role in the development of myopia.
