Myopia 17, autosomal dominant(MYP17; MYP4, FORMERLY)

MedGen UID:: 854818
•Concept ID:: C3888211
•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonyms:	MYOPIA 4; MYP17

Monarch Initiative:	MONDO:0012021
OMIM®:	608367

Definition

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a refractive error of the eye. Light rays from a distant object are focused in front of the retina and those from a near object are focused in the retina; therefore distant objects are blurry and near objects are clear (summary by Kaiser et al., 2004). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of susceptibility to myopia, see 160700. [from OMIM]
