Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the histological differences between Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) cases with and without the most common genetic risk factor, expansion of a CTG repeat (CTG18.1) within the TCF4 gene. METHODS: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded corneal tissues were compared retrospectively, and CTG18.1 status was determined from blood-derived gDNA. Cases were defined as expansion-positive (Exp+)...
