Abstract excerpt
Purpose: A trinucleotide repeat expansion in TCF4 is thought to cause Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) in ~70% of European patients. In addition, strong evidence exists for the involvement of rare variants in COL8A2 and SLC4A11 in a small number of FECD cases, and more controversially, it has been suggested that variants in ZEB1, AGBL1, and LOXHD1 may also be involved. We screened patients without a...
