Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Human genome-wide association studies and animal models suggest a role for TGFB2 in contributing to the corneal thickness phenotype. No specific mutations, however, have been reported in this gene that affect corneal thickness. We sought to determine if haploinsufficiency of TGFB2 in humans associated with Loeys-Dietz syndrome type 4 is associated with corneal thinning. DESIGN: Observational cohort...
