Expression profiling of patients with extreme corneal thinning and fragility


ABSTRACT: Extreme corneal fragility and thinning, with a high risk of catastrophic corneal rupture secondary to minimal trauma, is the major feature of brittle cornea syndrome (BCS). Expression profiling was performed with microarrays on fibroblasts from two individuals with BCS and two age and sex matched controls.

Extreme corneal fragility and thinning, which have a high risk of catastrophic spontaneous rupture, are the cardinal features of brittle cornea syndrome (BCS), an autosomal-recessive generalized connective tissue disorder. Enucleation is frequently the only management option for this condition, resulting in blindness and psychosocial distress. Even when the cornea remains grossly intact, visual function could also be impaired by a high degree of myopia and keratoconus. Deafness is another common  ...[more]
