Polymorphism Analysis of<i>VSX1</i>and<i>SOD1</i>Genes in Greek Patients with Keratoconus

Abstract

We cannot confirm the previously reported association of the polymorphism in the VSX1 gene with KC. Our results suggest a possible causative role of SOD1 in the pathogenesis of KC. Further studies are required to identify other important genetic factors involved in the pathogenesis and progression of KC.
