Sequence variation at ANAPC1 accounts for 24% of the variability in corneal endothelial cell density
20 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The corneal endothelium is vital for transparency and proper hydration of the cornea. Here, we conduct a genome-wide association study of corneal endothelial cell density (cells/mm2), coefficient of cell size variation (CV), percentage of hexagonal cells (HEX) and central corneal thickness (CCT) in 6,125 Icelanders and find associations at 10 loci, including 7 novel. We assess the effects of these...
