摘要: Twin studies and family suggest an important genetic basis for keratoconus (KC). Involvement association of several genes with the disease has been reported. Additionally, associated central corneal thickness (CCT) curvature (CC) via genome-wide (GWAS), also potentially underlie KC. Although a long list reported KC, evidence pathogenic role most remains limited. Furthermore, if involvement in KC development can be proven, they only account limited number patients. VSX1, ZNF469, SOD1, miR184 have frequently investigated, but mutations indisputably abnormalities. For three other genes, analysis minor allele frequencies (MAF) public databases argues against variants. remainder variants, functional is needed to prove their contribution pathogenesis. Despite large amount studies, clear results remain rare. A possible explanation cumbersome gene-identification that defects underlying are located regions understudied (such as non-coding regions) or not monogenic (= one gene effect size) initially considered. Since many applied research strategies identify mutations, variants smaller sizes might lead more progress research.
