Myopia is the most common ocular disorder worldwide, and high myopia in particular is one of the leading causes of blindness. Nonsyndromic, high myopia is highly heritable, and to date a few causative genes have been identified. It was reported that high myopia with cataract and vitreoretinal degeneration (MCVD) is caused by homozygous mutation in the LEPREL1 (P3H2) gene.
