Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To explore the genetic variants of 14 keratoconus trios containing subclinical parents. Methods: Trio-based whole-exome sequencing was performed in 14 keratoconus trios containing subclinical parents. The variants identified in candidate genes of keratoconus were analyzed by multiple bioinformatics tools. Results: We identified 12 variants in 10 candidate genes of keratoconus (COL5A1, TGFBI, CAST, MPDZ,...
