Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To report the identification and characterization of stromal amyloid deposits in patients with keratoconus. METHODS: The excised corneal buttons from 2 patients diagnosed clinically with keratoconus underwent histochemical analysis with Masson trichrome, Congo red, Alcian blue, and periodic acid-Schiff stains, and immunohistochemical analysis for the transforming growth factor beta-induced gene (TGFBI)...
