Genetic factors of myopia

The purpose of the work is to study the genetic features of myopia manifestation according to modern data of domestic and foreign literature. The analysis of recent publications on the issues of myopia genetics is presented. The review is performed using the keywords of this topic in the PubMed, Scopus, eLibrary.ru databases. Myopia is a complex condition with many genetic variants of development both according to the Mendelian type of inheritance and as a complex disease caused by the joint contribution of several polymorphic genes that interact or act independently. It is necessary to conduct further genetic studies in various regions of our country and abroad for the development of possible individual approaches to the treatment of myopia with the choice of the age of treatment initiation, as well as to the prevention of its occurrence and progression.
