Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a complex degenerative disease of the corneal endothelium with genetic predisposition. Pathogenic rare variants have been identified in SLC4A11, LOXHD1, ZEB1, and AGBL1. Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and CTG trinucleotide repeat expansions in the intron of TCF4 gene to FECD has been studied across multiple ethnicities. Recently,...
