A review of keratoconus: Diagnosis, pathophysiology, and genetics
Veronica Mas Tur et al. Surv Ophthalmol. 2017 Nov-Dec.
Abstract
We discuss new approaches to the early detection of keratoconus and recent investigations regarding the nature of its pathophysiology. We review the current evidence for its complex genetics and evaluate the presently identified genes/loci and potential candidate gene/loci. In addition, we highlight current research methodologies that may be used to further elucidate the pathogenesis of keratoconus.
Keywords: genetics; keratoconus; review article.
