Description
Urh Senk and co-authors hunt the gene roots of severe short sight in children. Strong myopia early in life can stand alone or ride with wider syndromes. It raises the risk of lasting sight loss. The team tested children seen at a Slovenian eye clinic over more than a decade.
Gene testing found a cause in about six of every ten children. Syndromes led the list when the whole body was involved, with Stickler syndrome among them. When only the eyes were involved, faults in retina genes stood out. A lone gene fault explained the purely isolated cases. The authors back gene testing for such children, for clearer diagnosis and family advice.
