Information about Hereditary Corneal Dystrophy: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Hereditary Corneal Dystrophy

Most recent studies have shown that Hereditary Corneal Dystrophy shares some biological mechanisms with age-related-macular-degeneration, amyloidosis, avellino-corneal-dystrophy, blind-vision, cataract, corneal-diseases, corneal-edema, disorder-of-eye, dystrophy, edema, familial-amyloid-polyneuropathy-type-v, fuchs-endothelial-dystrophy, glaucoma, granular-corneal-dystrophy, keratitis, macular-corneal-dystrophy.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Hereditary Corneal Dystrophy, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Cell Adhesion, Cell Death, Cell Differentiation, Cell Growth, Cell Proliferation, Localization, Pathogenesis, Pigmentation, Reflex, Regeneration, Response To Oxidative Stress, Secretion, Segmentation, Senescence, Sulfation, Tear Secretion, Translation, Transport, Wound Healing

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Hereditary Corneal Dystrophy, such as ABCA4, ACD, BEST1, CDK13, CHST6, COL8A2, CYP4V2, ERG, GSN, KRT3, MLYCD, PTK2B, RPE, SLC4A11, TACSTD2, TGFBI, UBIAD1, VSX1, ZEB1.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
