Suppl-1, M4: Genetics in Keratoconus – What is New?DOI: 10.2174/1874364101711010201 Keywords: Keratoconus, Genetics, Environmental risk factors, Non-inflammatory, Irregular astigmatism, Genomic loci Abstract: Keratoconus is characterized as a bilateral, progressive, non-inflammatory thinning of the cornea resulting in blurred vision due to irregular astigmatism. Keratoconus has a multifactorial etiology, with multiple genetic and environmental components contributing to the disease pathophysiology. Several genomic loci and genes have been identified that highlight the complex molecular etiology of this disease
