6 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To investigate the presence of the variants of lysyl oxygenase (LOX) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) genes in Brazilian patients with advanced keratoconus. Methods: Donor genomic DNA extracted from blood samples was screened for 5’UTR, exonic LOX, and SOD1 variants in a subset of 26 patients presenting with advanced keratoconus (KISA > 1000% and I–S > 2.0) by Sanger sequencing. The impact of...
