Abstract excerpt

AIM: To identify the underlying genetic defect in Egyptian patients with macular corneal dystrophy (MCD). METHODS: A clinical and molecular genetic study was performed on 11 patients from six families with MCD. Clinical diagnosis was confirmed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy and histopathological examination of corneal buttons following keratoplasty. The coding region of the carbohydrate sulfotransferase (CHST6) gene...
