ABSTRACT  Two blood groups (A1A2BO, RhD), 7 red cell enzyme polymorphisms (ADA, AK1, ESD, PGM1, GLO1, ACP1, GPI) and haemoglobin (Hb) types were investigated in patients suffering from myopia alongwith a control sample. The present results did not show any statistically significant differences between the patient and control series in the distribution of these genetic markers.
