Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Most transforming growth factor beta-induced (TGFBI) corneal dystrophies are associated with a characteristic phenotype, clinical course, and a conserved mutation in the TGFBI gene. However, we report a novel TGFBI missense mutation associated with a late-onset, variant Bowman layer dystrophy. METHODS: Participants underwent slit-lamp examination and multimodal imaging. Polymerase chain reaction...
