LAMA1 and myopia: Zhao et al. found that the rs2089760 polymorphism in the promoter region of the LAMA1 gene was associated with high myopia in their study of 103 healthy subjects and 97 high-myopic patients in the Chinese population.5 Liang et al. also reported that the SNP rs2089760 G>A polymorphism in the promoter region of LAMA1 was a significant factor in the development of myopia development.17 However, in our study there was no significant difference between the high myopia group and the control group in terms of LAMA1 gene polymorphisms.
