Evaluation of TGFBI corneal dystrophy and molecular diagnostic testing

Abstract excerpt

To date, 70 different TGFBI mutations that cause epithelial-stromal corneal dystrophies have been described. At present one commercially available test examines for the five most common of these mutations: R124H, R124C, R124L, R555W, and R555Q. To expand the capability of identifying the causative mutation in the remaining cases, 57 mutations would need to be added. The aim of this study was to obtain a better...
