Whole exome sequencing (WES) has facilitated the identification of several genes associated with myopia, including genes related to autosomal dominant inheritance (e.g., ZNF644, SCO2, SLC39A5, P4HA2, BSG, and CDC111), autosomal recessive inheritance (e.g., LEPREL1, LRPAP1, and CTSH), and X-linked inheritance (e.g., OPN1LW and ARR3) (Cai et al., 2019). The gene discussed is ARR3; the disease is myopia.
