Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate if a specific mutation in the TGFBI gene is linked to a condition involving amyloid deposits in the cornea.
- Involving 8 patients, methods included slit lamp examinations, DNA analysis from buccal swabs, and sequencing the entire TGFBI gene to look for mutations.
- Results showed amyloid deposits in all patients and identified one new genetic variant; however, no known pathogenic mutations were found, indicating that TGFBI mutations are not the cause of this condition.
