Analysis of TGFBI Gene Mutations in Three Chinese Families with Corneal Dystrophy by Feng Zhao, Yuan Liu, Tao Guan

“…Peripheral blood was collected from 24 patients and 76 phenotypically normal members in three Chinese families as well as from 100 healthy controls. Genomic DNA was extracted. All 17 exons of the TGFBI gene, and the exon-intron junctions were examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct DNA sequencing to identify and analyse gene mutations. …”
