Abstract excerpt
Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), a late-onset oxidative stress disorder, is the most common cause of corneal endothelial degeneration and is genetically associated with CTG repeat expansion in Transcription Factor 4 (TCF4). We previously reported accumulation of nuclear (nDNA) and mitochondrial (mtDNA) damage in FECD. Specifically, mtDNA damage was a prominent finding in development of disease in the...
