Inherited corneal disease: the evolving molecular, genetic and imaging revolution.

Abstract excerpt

Advances in molecular genetics and in vivo ocular imaging modalities have enhanced our understanding of the corneal dystrophies. To date at least 11 genes have been identified, in which mutations manifest in corneal disease. In addition there are at least eight other loci identified to which corneal dystrophies have been linked. The information gained from the knowledge of gene function, aberrant protein...
