A Novel KERA Mutation in a Case of Autosomal Recessive Cornea Plana With Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Keratocan is a cornea-specific keratan sulfate proteoglycan found predominantly in the adult vertebrate eye. In human beings, mutations in keratocan (KERA) are associated with autosomal recessive cornea plana (CNA2), which is characterized by a flattened forward convex curvature of the cornea.
