Article Synopsis
- - Keratoconus (KC) is a corneal disorder affecting about 1 in 2,000 people, often leading to corneal transplants, with the VSX1 gene suspected to play a significant role in its development.
- - The study analyzed mutations in specific sections of the VSX1 gene in 50 KC patients and 50 healthy individuals from Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari province, using DNA extraction and sequencing techniques.
- - Results indicated only one patient had a notable H244R mutation, alongside the identification of several polymorphisms, suggesting that mutations in VSX1 are rare in this population, and further research on other genes is necessary to understand KC better.
