Our study investigated the genetic causes of nanophthalmos, a rare condition where eyes are abnormally small, often leading to severe vision problems. We analyzed the genes of 105 Chinese patients, the largest group of this kind studied so far. Our research found genetic causes in over 70% of patients, primarily in four genes: PRSS56, MFRP, [...]Read More...
