Macular corneal dystrophy related to novel mutations of CHST6 in a Chinese family and clinical observation after penetrating keratoplasty
Abstract Background Macular corneal dystrophy (MCD) is a rare corneal stromal dystrophy with bilateral progressive vision loss. The pathogenic gene of MCD is carbohydrate sulfotransferase 6 (CHST6). Herein, we report a novel missense mutation and a rare exon deletion mutation in the CHST6 gene in a...
