RNA-Seq–based transcriptome analysis of corneal endothelial cells derived from patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Abstract excerpt

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common inherited corneal disease. Fibrillar focal excrescences called guttae and corneal edema due to corneal endothelial cell death result in progressive vision loss. Multiple genetic variants have been reported, but the pathogenesis of FECD is not fully understood. In this study, we used RNA-Seq to analyze differential gene expression in the corneal...
