Table 7.
Frequency (%) of refractive errors in males (n = 60), all females (n = 76), and in all females grouped according to being homozygous (n = 22) or heterozygous (n = 54) for their specific L exon 3 haplotype(s). There was a significant association between the refractive error and homozygosity versus heterozygosity for the females (Pearson Chi-Squared test based on 9999 Monte-Carlo resamplings, p = 0.008).
| All females grouped by their L exon 3 haplotype(s) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Males | All females | Homozygous females | Heterozygous females | |
| n | 60 | 76 | 22 | 54 |
| Myopia (%) | 8.3 | 19.7 | 9.1 | 24.1 |
| Emmetropia (%) | 33.3 | 28.9 | 54.5 | 18.5 |
| Hyperopia (%) | 58.3 | 51.3 | 36.4 | 57.4 |
