- * The study conducted at the University Hospital La Paz analyzed the genetic basis of keratoconus in 24 pediatric families using whole-exome sequencing, finding an oligogenic inheritance pattern.
- * Identified candidate genes are linked to various corneal functions and repair processes, indicating potential therapeutic targets, but further research is needed to validate their role in pediatric keratoconus.
