The significant finding from the analysis is an association between myopia and COL2A1 (rs1635529). The p value for FGF2 (rs1048201) is not significant after correction for multiple comparisons. The significant p value is marked in red. In the table, NR indicates the p-value was not reported due to an insufficient number of informative families. Also, NS indicates the p-value is not significant for any allele with a sufficient number of informative families.
