Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To analyze transforming growth factor beta-induced (TGFBI) gene mutations in 2 Chinese families with Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy (TBCD). METHODS: Forty-five individuals in 2 Chinese families with TBCD were examined using slitlamp biomicroscopy. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes of affected and unaffected family members. Molecular genetic analysis of the TGFBI gene was performed...
