| TGFBI Gene Mutation Analysis of Clinically Diagnosed Granular Corneal Dystrophy Patients Prior to PTK: A Pilot Study from Eastern China OPEN This study investigated the TGFBI gene mutation types in outpatients clinically diagnosed with granular corneal dystrophy (GCD) prior to phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK), also calculated the mutation rate of subjects with normal corneas, but positive family history. Clinical GCD outpatients and consanguineous family members were enrolled in this study. Among total 42 subjects: 24 patients from 23 unrelated families had typical signs of GCD on corneas; 5 patients from 5 unrelated families had atypical signs; 13 subjects from 11 unrelated families had no corneal signs but positive family... |

| Potential Effects of Corneal Cross-Linking upon the Limbus Corneal cross-linking is nowadays the most used strategy for the treatment of keratoconus and recently it has been exploited for an increasing number of different corneal pathologies, from other ectatic disorders to keratitis. The safety of this technique has been widely assessed, but clinical complications still occur. The potential effects of cross-linking treatment upon the limbus are incompletely understood; it is important therefore to investigate the effect of UV exposure upon the limbal niche, particularly as UV is known to be mutagenic to cellular DNA and the limbus is where ocular... |
