Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Transforming growth factor beta-induced (TGFBI)-associated corneal dystrophies (CDs) are a clinically heterogeneous group of CDs caused by mutations in the TGFBI gene. Nucleotide sequences encoding two arginine residues at positions 124 and 555 in TGFBI protein are mutation hotspots. We screened regions of TGFBI that include the hotspots in a cohort of Iranian patients with TGFBI-associated CDs. We also...
