Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the genetic mutation of TGFBI gene in four Chinese families with corneal dystrophy. The pedigrees were Reis-Bücklers corneal dystrophy (RBCD), Avellino corneal dystrophy (ACD), lattice corneal dystrophy type I(LCDI) and lattice corneal dystrophy type I/IIIA (LCDI/IIIA) (n = 1 each). METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from leukocytes from 22 patients, 22 phenotypic normal family members and...
