Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the endothelial gene expression profile in a Col8a2 Q455K mutant knock-in mouse model of early-onset Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and identify potential targets that can be correlated to human late-onset FECD. METHODS: Diseased or normal endothelial phenotypes were verified in 12-month-old homozygous Col8a2(Q455K/Q455K) mutant and wild-type mice by clinical confocal...
