Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how environmental factors influence the likelihood of developing keratoconus in a Western Algerian population, focusing on specific SNPs linked to allergies.
- It involved 70 keratoconus patients and 70 control subjects, using DNA testing to analyze genetic variations and compare them between the two groups.
- The results showed a significant link between family history, atopy, and eye rubbing with keratoconus, while smoking appeared to have a protective effect; however, the studied SNPs did not show any significant genetic association with the condition.
