Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To assess the impact of zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) gene mutations associated with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy 3 (PPCD3) and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). METHODS: Thirteen of the 27 previously reported ZEB1 truncating mutations associated with PPCD3 and the six previously reported ZEB1 missense mutations associated with FECD were generated and transiently...
