Unraveling the Heritability of Ocular Rigidity and Myopia-Related Traits: A Siblings-Based Study
This study presented the first quantification of heritability for OR, indicating substantial familial aggregation of OR among siblings. While these findings can have implications in myopia, further investigation is needed to determine the influence of familial factors, both genetic and environmental, on the sclera.
