Evaluation of Tomographic and Genetic Aspects of Keratoconus Patients Compared to Sounds Corneas
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating EVALUATION OF VSX1, SOD1, and TIMP3 genes for Keratoconus and Keratoconus, Unspecified, Bilateral. Completed, enrolled 210 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Evaluation of tomographic (Pentacam) parameters and genetic parameters of Visual System Homeobox 1 (VSX1), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1), Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases (TIMP3) genes of keratoconus patients diagnosed by clinical exam and topographic pattern. Basically we are screening patients that don't have keratoconus that those have keratoconus. The pentacam index of corneal curvature, thinnest point, corneal high order aberrations, posterior and anterior elevation, corneal densitometry, corneal volume were investigated. To analyze the genes, we took corneal epithelium samples of patients submitted to cross linking compared to (PRK) Photo Refractive Keratectomy ones. Also will be evaluated the genes of peripheral blood.
