At present, myopia has become a public health disease worldwide, and its occurrence is mostly caused by genetic and environmental factors. Single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)are the changes in single base at the genomic level caused by DNA sequence polymorphisms. In recent years, it is reported that the change of SNPs in myopic related gene loci is closely related to the occurrence and development of myopia. The present paper reviewed the current status of the association between SNPs of myopia-related genes and the development of myopia, providing a new insight into the future research of pathogenesis of myopia.
