1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Keratoconus is a noninflammatory disease characterized by thinning and scarring of the central portion of the cornea. The etiology is unclear. In this study, we sought to identify mRNAs that are differentially expressed in the stroma of keratoconus corneas in comparison to those of corneas from normal individuals and patients with other corneal diseases.
