Refractive error
disease diseaseOn this page
Summary
Refractive error (MONDO:0004892) is a disease (an umbrella term covering 7 Mondo subtypes) whose subtypes are caused by variants in ARR3, CPSF1, LOXL3, and 7 other genes. It is a defect in the focusing of light on the retina as in astigmatism, myopia, or hyperopia (Mondo). This page aggregates 75 associated genes (2,199 GWAS associations across 29 studies) and 296 registered clinical trials. Top therapeutic interventions include brimonidine, cyclopentolate, and proparacaine.
At a glance

Pharmacogenomics

No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Chemical tractability of cohort targets
30 approved/phased compounds have measured bioactivity against a cohort gene (and aren’t yet in disease-level trials). This is a research / tractability signal, NOT a therapeutic recommendation — a bioactivity row often reflects off-target or screening binding (e.g. promiscuous kinase inhibitors against a cohort kinase), implying no disease mechanism.
