Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To develop and characterize a novel mouse model of granular corneal dystrophy type II (GCD2) using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and explore the underlying pathogenesis of transforming growth factor-beta-induced protein (TGFBIp) aggregation. Methods: CRISPR/Cas9 technology was employed to introduce the R124H mutation in the TGFBI gene of mice. Genomic sequencing and polymerase chain reaction confirmed the...
