Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Central corneal thickness (CCT) is a quantitative trait associated with keratoconus and primary open-angle glaucoma. Although CCT is highly heritable, known genetic variations explain only a fraction of the phenotypic variability. The purpose of this study was to identify additional CCT-influencing loci using inbred strains of mice. METHODS: Cohorts of 82 backcrossed (N2) and 99 intercrossed (F2) mice...
