Genetic Variants Associated With Corneal Biomechanical Properties and Potentially Conferring Susceptibility to Keratoconus in a Genome-Wide Association Study
27 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: Keratoconus is an important cause of visual loss in young adults, but little is known about its genetic causes. Understanding the genetic determinants of corneal biomechanical factors may in turn teach us about keratoconus etiology. OBJECTIVES: To identify genetic associations with corneal biomechanical properties and to examine whether these genetic variants are associated with keratoconus. DESIGN,...
