Shape of eye’s central pit is strongly linked to genetics

In 39,521 UK Biobank participants, genetic differences accounted for an estimated 29% to 43% of variation across six measures of the retina’s central pit.In 39,521 UK Biobank participants, genetic differences accounted for an estimated 29% to 43% of variation across six measures of the retina’s central pit.
