Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) and transforming growth factor-beta(TGF-β) of the posterior sclera in human fetuses of the same month. Methods: Sixteen eyes of human 14-week fetus were divided into two groups: the experimental group whose parents were myopia with a refraction over -4.00D and the control group whose parents were without myopia. The expressions of bFGF and TGF-β in the posterior sclera were determined and quantitatively analyzed by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Results: The expression of bFGF in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P＜0.05), while on the contrary, the expression of TGFβin the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion： The expressions of bFGF　and TGF-β in the posterior sclera of the fetal eyes of the same fetal month are significantly different between myopia families and non-myopia families.

Key words: Human fetus, Sclera, Myopia, bFGF, TGF-β
