Discordance for Keratoconus in Two Pairs of Monozygotic Twins

1 Jul 1999

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: We present two pairs of monozygotic twins discordant for keratoconus. METHODS: Two pairs of twins, each with one twin with keratoconus, and available family members were examined clinically and with computer-assisted videokeratography. Polymerase chain reaction-based zygosity assays using between nine and 11 unique, anonymous DNA markers were performed on blood obtained from the twins and surviving...
