CFH and myopia: The shared association with a locus in the CFH gene suggests that choroid/retinal pigment epithelium homeostasis is strongly influenced by genetic variation at 1q31. Even though 75% of the affected eyes in the current study were myopic, we did not find an association with risk loci observed in myopia.31,32,33,34,35 However, it is possible this is due to insufficient power to detect associations with these risk loci.
