Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified six loci associated with central corneal thickness that also conferred associated risk of keratoconus (KC). We aimed to assess whether genetic associations existed for these loci with KC or corneal curvature in an independent cohort of European ancestry. METHODS: In total, 157 patients with KC were recruited from public and private clinics in...
