Analysis of the Posterior Polymorphous Corneal Dystrophy 3 Gene,<i>TCF8</i>, in Late-Onset Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
1 Jan 2008

PURPOSE: Because the endothelial (posterior) corneal dystrophies share common pathologic features and result from primary endothelial dysfunction, it is possible that a proportion of them could be clinical manifestations of different mutations of the same gene. The aim of our study was to determine whether mutations of the TCF8 gene, recently implicated in posterior polymorphous dystrophy, may also play a role in...
