A molecular perspective on corneal dystrophies

, 2003
Corneal dystrophies refer to a group of corneal diseases and that are genetically determined. These have been traditionally classified with respect to the layer of cornea involved. We now know that this does not reflect the underlying pathobiology.

BIGH(3) gene analysis in the differential diagnosis of corneal dystrophies

, 2001
Purpose. To identify the mutation in the keratoepithelin gene for proper diagnosis of granular corneal dystrophies. Methods. Four generations of a single family with corneal dystrophy were analyzed. Fourteen family members were examined and 11 were found

Mutation Hot Spots in 5q31-Linked Corneal Dystrophies

, 1998
SummaryMutations in the BIGH3 gene on chromosome 5q31 cause four distinct autosomal dominant diseases of the human cornea: granular (Groenouw type I), Reis-Bücklers, lattice type I, and Avellino corneal dystrophies. All four diseases are characterized by

Advanced bioengineering strategies broaden the therapeutic landscape for corneal failure

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The cornea acts as the eye foremost protective layer and is essential for its focusing power. Corneal blindness may arise from physical trauma or conditions like dystrophies, keratitis, keratoconus, or ulceration.
