Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify mutations within the TGFBI gene in a Chinese family with lattice corneal dystrophy type I (LCD I). METHODS: Genomic DNA of three affected, four unaffected family members and 50 normal individuals was extracted from peripheral leukocytes. All exons of TGFBI were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods and direct sequencing was carried out for mutation analysis. RESULTS: A missense...
