The mean signal intensity of anti-LIMS1 autoantibody was greatest in the pathologic myopia group (ANOVA with LSD post hoc test, both p < 0.0001; Fig. 3C), but did not differ significantly between the emmetropia and simple high myopia groups (ANOVA with LSD post hoc test, p > 0.05; Fig. 3C). Here, LIMS1 is linked to myopia.
