Mutation Hot Spots in 5q31-Linked Corneal Dystrophies

open access: yes, 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

Advances and challenges of CRISPR/Cas gene editing for corneal diseases

open access: yesAdvances in Ophthalmology Practice and Research
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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
