(Submitter supplied) PURPOSE: Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a degenerative eye disorder affecting 4% of Americans older than 40. It is the leading indication for corneal endothelial (CE) transplantation for which there is a global donor shortage. This study aimed to gain further insight into the pathophysiology of FECD and identify targets for nonsurgical therapy. METHODS: CE from patients with late-onset FECD was compared with that of normal controls using microarray expression analysis (n = 4 FECD, n = 4 normal), reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (n = 9 FECD, n = 8 normal), and immunohistology (n = 55 FECD, n = 15 normal). more...

(Submitter supplied) Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a progressive vision impairing disease caused by thickening of Descemet’s membrane and gradual degeneration and loss of corneal endothelial cells. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes between FECD-affected and unaffected corneal endothelium to gain insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this disease. Microarray gene expression analysis was performed on total RNA from FECD-affected and unaffected corneal endothelium-Descemet’s membrane (CE-DM) specimens using the Illumina HumanHT-12 v3.0 expression array. more...

(Submitter supplied) RNA-Seq splicing data from the corneal endothelia of FECD patients and controls reveal hundreds of differential alternative splicing events. These include events previously characterized in the context of myotonic dystrophy type 1 and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, as well as splicing changes in genes related to proposed mechanisms of FECD pathogenesis.

(Submitter supplied) Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal human corneal endothelium and human corneal endothelium from FECD cases. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC 850K BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs in genomic DNA from human corneal endothelium samples. Samples included 11 non-FECD donors, 17 FECD cases.

(Submitter supplied) How genetic defects trigger late-onset disease is important for understanding disease progression and therapeutic development. Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is an RNA-mediated disease caused by a trinucleotide CUG expansion in an intron within the TCF4 gene. The mutant intronic CUG RNA is present at 1-2 copies per cell, posing a challenge to understand how a rare RNA can cause disease. more...

(Submitter supplied) PURPOSE: To compare the gene expression profiles of normal human corneal endothelium with Fuchs' corneal endothelium, by using serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE). METHODS: Three pairs of normal human corneas were obtained from eye banks. Thirteen bisected Fuchs' corneal buttons were processed at the time of corneal transplantation. The endothelia of normal and Fuchs'-affected corneas were stripped, and total RNA was isolated. more...
