Advances in Vision Research, Volume I : Genetic Eye Research in Asia and the Pacific /

This book presents the state of the art in genetic eye research in Asia and the Pacific. Though there has been an explosion of information on genetic eye research in western countries, more than sixty percent of the human genes involved in eye diseases in the Asian and Pacific population remain unkn...
