Whole-genome sequencing identifies novel loci for keratoconus and facilitates risk stratification in a Han Chinese population

Abstract Background Keratoconus (KC) is a prevalent corneal condition with a modest genetic basis. Recent studies have reported significant genetic associations in multi-ethnic cohorts. However, the situation in the Chinese population remains unknown. This study was conducted to identify novel genet...
