Posterior Amorphous Corneal Dystrophy Is Associated with a Deletion of Small Leucine-rich Proteoglycans on Chromosome 12
23 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy (PACD) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder affecting the cornea and iris. Next-generation sequencing of the previously identified PACD linkage interval on chromosome 12q21.33 failed to yield a pathogenic mutation. However, array-based copy number analysis and qPCR were used to detect a hemizygous deletion in the PACD linkage interval containing 4 genes encoding small...
