Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the correlation between surgical outcome after phototherapeutic keratectomy in patients with autosomal dominant transforming growth factor, beta-induced (TGFBI)-linked corneal dystrophies (CD) and molecular genetic findings regarding the TGFBI gene. METHODS: Twelve patients were examined to investigate genotype by direct sequencing of the TGFBI gene. Twenty eyes of 12 patients were treated...
