Mutations in COL8A2 gene which encodes the collagen alpha-2 (VIII) chain have been identified in both familial and sporadic cases of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). Heterozygous mutations in the SLC4A11 gene are also known to cause late-onset FECD. Therefore we screened for COL8A2, SLC4A11 gene variants in Indian FECD patients.
