Will high myopia be passed on to the next generation? What is the genetic probability of high myopia

With the continuous development of modern society, due to the unreasonable eye use habits, diet and the popularity of electronic products, many children are short-sighted since childhood, which makes parents very upset. Apart from the factors of the day after tomorrow, if parents are highly short-sighted, will they be passed on to the next generation?

In the general population of our country, about 1 / 5 of them are carriers of myopic gene.

High myopia is an autosomal recessive genetic disease, that is, a pair of genes related to myopia are pathogenic genes of the disease. If only one gene is pathogenic, and the other gene is normal, it will not be pathogenic, just the carrier of the pathogenic gene. For example, parents are not myopic, but they are all carriers of high myopia gene. They do not show myopia in themselves, but their pathogenic genes are passed on to their children, so that the children have two genes of myopia, so that the children become myopic.

The incidence of children's disease is more than 90% when men with high myopia combine with women with high myopia. If combined with the myopic gene carrier, half of the children may be highly myopic, while with the normal vision or low and medium myopia, the chance of the children's myopia is 1 / 10.
