Abstract excerpt
Corneal endothelial cell (CEnC) loss is often associated with blinding endothelial corneal dystrophies: dominantly inherited, common (5%) Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and recessive, rare congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED). Mutations of SLC4A11, an abundant corneal solute transporter, cause CHED and some cases of FECD. The link between defective SLC4A11 solute transport function and...
