Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To investigate the association of body mass index (BMI) with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) severity and TCF4 CTG18.1 expansion. METHODS: A total of 343 patients with FECD were enrolled from the Mayo Clinic. FECD severity was graded by slit-lamp biomicroscopy. BMI values were obtained from the electronic medical records. DNA extracted from leukocytes was analyzed for CTG18.1 expansion length,...
