Investigation of TGFBI (transforming growth factor beta-induced) Gene Mutations in Families with Granular Corneal Dystrophy Type 1 in the Konya Region

Objectives:Granular corneal dystrophies (GCD) are characterized by small, discrete, sharp-edged, grayish-white opacities in the corneal stroma. Among the genes responsible for the development of GCD, the most strongly related gene is transforming growth factor beta-induced (TGFBI), located in the 5q...
