Effect of Trinucleotide Repeat Expansion on the Expression ofTCF4mRNA in Fuchs' Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
27 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: CTG trinucleotide repeat (TNR) expansion is frequently found in transcription factor 4 (TCF4) in Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD), though the effect of TNR expansion on FECD pathophysiology remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of TNR expansion on TCF4 expression in corneal endothelium of patients with FECD. Methods: Peripheral blood DNA and Descemet membrane...
