Abstract excerpt
Gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy (GDLD; OMIM: 204870) is an autosomal recessive Mendelian-inherited disease. Subepithelial amyloid deposition results in severe visual impairment. Its pathogenesis remains unknown. Identification of the responsible gene is a useful approach to investigating the pathogenesis of genetic diseases. Such an identification is also necessary for the creation of genetic models. For...
