Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To improve our understanding of the role of specific genes on corneal transparency through a review of linkage to specific chromosomal loci and the identification of the mutant genes dealing with the corneal dystrophies. METHOD: Relevant recent literature on the corneal dystrophies is reviewed. RESULTS: Molecular genetic studies of the corneal dystrophies suggest that genes on at least 10 human...
