There is considerable evidence which supports a link between abnormalities in copper metabolism and some pigmentary retinopathies. In a previous study, we found such abnormalities in high myopic Caucasian patients. Since the incidence of myopia, and the connection of the latter with retinal detachment, in the black are different from those found in the Caucasian, we modeled the present study on the black after the above-mentioned one carried out on the Caucasian. In the present study no abnormalities in copper metabolism were present, in the black high myopic patient.
有大量证据支持铜代谢异常与某些色素性视网膜病变之间存在联系。在之前的一项研究中，我们在高度近视的白种人患者中发现了此类异常。由于黑人中近视的发病率以及近视与视网膜脱离的关联与白种人不同，我们在对白种人进行上述研究之后，以黑人为对象开展了本研究。在本研究中，黑人高度近视患者未出现铜代谢异常。
