Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To describe the concordance of keratoconus in 18 sets of twins. METHODS: Thirteen monozygotic (MZ) and five dizygotic (DZ) pairs of twins were identified during an investigation of familial keratoconus. We used 16 forensic microsatellite markers to confirm the zygosity of same sex twins....
