| الوصف: | The structure of the cornea is vital to its transparency, and dystrophies that disrupt corneal organization are highly heritable. To understand the genetic aetiology of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD), the most prevalent corneal disorder requiring transplantation, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 1,404 FECD cases and 2,564 controls of European ancestry, followed by replication and meta-analysis, for a total of 2,075 cases and 3,342 controls. We identify three novel loci meeting genome-wide significance (P Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is one of the most common reasons for corneal transplantation, and is known to cluster in families. Here, the authors discover new genetic loci associated with FECD with sex-specific effects and implications for disease mechanism. |
