Mutation update:TGFBIpathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in corneal dystrophies
4 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Human transforming growth factor β-induced (TGFBI), is a gene responsible for various corneal dystrophies. TGFBI produces a protein called TGFBI, which is involved in cell adhesion and serves as a recognition sequence for integrins. An alteration in cell surface interactions could be the underlying cause for the progressive accumulation of extracellular deposits in different layers of the cornea with the...
