Purpose: Keratoconus (KC) is a corneal disorder with complex etiology, apparently involving both genetic and environmental factors, characterized by progressive thinning and protrusion of the cornea. We aimed to identify novel genetic regions associated with KC susceptibility, elucidate relevant genes for disease development, and explore the translational implications for therapeutic intervention and risk...
