Q455V mutation in COL8A2 is associated with Fuchs' corneal dystrophy in Korean patients.

Eye (London, England) - 1 Apr 2009

Mok J-W, Kim H-S, Joo C-K

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To investigate the possibility of collagen type VIII alpha2 (COL8A2) as a potential susceptibility gene for Korean patients with Fuchs' corneal dystrophy (FECD), we performed mutation screening of the COL8A2 gene. METHODS: A total of 25 FECD patients were screened, including 15 patients...
