Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In this study, we investigated whether the phenotypic difference observed between two lattice corneal dystrophy type 1 (LCD type 1) cases caused by either a single A546D substitution or an A546D/P551Q double substitution in TGFBIp (transforming growth factor beta induced protein) can be ascribed to (i) a difference in the proteomes of corneal amyloid deposits, (ii) altered proteolysis of TGFBIp, or (iii)...
