Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To decipher the biological pathways involved in keratoconus pathophysiology by determining the patterns of differential gene expression between keratoconus and control corneas. METHODS: RNA was extracted from surgically removed corneas of 10 keratoconus patients and from normal corneas of 10 control patients who had undergone enucleation of an eye for ocular melanoma. Several hundred thousand RNA...
