Ocular Mucin Gene Expression Levels as Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Dry Eye Syndrome

20 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To evaluate mRNA levels of the ocular mucins MUC1, MUC2, MUC4, MUC5AC, and MUC7 in conjunctival impression cytology samples from patients with moderate to severe dry eye syndrome (DES) compared with a population of healthy subjects; and to investigate the use of the levels of these mucin genes as biomarkers of DES and subsequently as a potential diagnostic test for DES. METHODS: This prospective study...
