Polymorphism of the DNA Base Excision Repair Genes in Keratoconus

Polymorphism of the DNA Base Excision Repair Genes in Keratoconus

Keratoconus (KC) is a degenerative corneal disorder for which the exact pathogenesis is not yet known. Oxidative stress is reported to be associated with this disease. The stress may damage corneal biomolecules, including DNA, and such damage is primarily removed by base excision repair (BER). Vari...
