A multi-ethnic genome-wide association study implicates collagen matrix integrity and cell differentiation pathways in keratoconus

Alison Hardcastle et al. report a genome-wide meta-analysis of keratoconus, a condition affecting the cornea that causes blurred vision and often leads to blindness. They identify 36 genomic regions associated with keratoconus, 31 of which are novel, and show that the genes in these regions implicat...
