Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the transforming growth factor-beta induced (TGFBI)-related corneal dystrophies and the influence of the Arg555Trp and Thr538Pro, TGFBI mutations on C-terminal cleavage and cell endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress were investigated. METHODS: The Arg555Trp and Thr538Pro mutations known to be associated with corneal dystrophy granular type I and lattice corneal...
