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

Advances and challenges of CRISPR/Cas gene editing for corneal diseases
Background: Corneal diseases are a major cause of global visual impairment, and current treatments remain inadequate for severe or refractory cases. The CRISPR/Cas system offers robust and precise gene-editing capabilities, yet its therapeutic potential ...

Advanced bioengineering strategies broaden the therapeutic landscape for corneal failure
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.
