Genome-wide association study identifies three novel loci in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is one of the most common reasons for corneal transplantation, and is known to cluster in families. Here, the authors discover new genetic loci associated with FECD with sex-specific effects and implications for disease mechanism.
