CCDC102B confers risk of low vision and blindness in high myopia

Myopic maculopathy is a complication of myopia that often progresses to blindness. Here, in a genome-wide association study, Hosoda et al. find that rs11873439 intronic to CCDC102B is associated with myopic maculopathy, but not with myopia, thus representing a risk factor independent of myopia.
