Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To report a novel mutation in TGFBI (GenBank NM_000358), p.Met619Lys, associated with a variant of combined granular-lattice corneal dystrophy. METHODS: Slitlamp examination and DNA collection from the proband and affected and unaffected relatives. All 17 exons of TGFBI were amplified and sequenced in the proband. Exon 14 was amplified and sequenced in the proband's family members and in 100 controls....
