Genetic analysis of chromosome 20-related posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy: genetic heterogeneity and exclusion of three candidate genes.

Molecular vision - 16 Jan 2008

Hosseini S Mohsen, Herd Sarah, Vincent Andrea L, Héon Elise

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD) is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal dominant condition which maps to the pericentromeric region of chromosome 20. Mutations in the VSX1 transcription factor have been reported in patients affected with PPCD, keratoconus, or a combinati...
