Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To identify risk loci for hereditary corneal dystrophy and improve a polygenic prediction model for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of 7316 Europeans with hereditary corneal dystrophy (including FECD and related conditions) and 1,588,467 controls from the UK Biobank, All of Us, FinnGen, and Million Veteran Program (MVP), assessing phenotype validity via...
