Figure 1. Schematic representations of the SNPs selected for the
HGF (1A) and
C-MET (1B) genes (source UCSC genome browser). A total of 4 SNPs were selected for
HGF and 6 were selected for
C-MET. The SNPs highlighted in yellow have previously been associated with high myopia as reported by Han et al. [
16] for
HGF and Khor et al. [Personal communication, Khor CC] for
C-MET. All of the SNPs are intronic with the exception of rs3735520 which is located 1.5KB upstream from
HGF and rs17501108 which is located 4.5KB upstream from
HGF.
