Heritability of Corneal Curvature and Pentacam Topometric Indices: A Population-Based Study

Conclusion: The familial aggregation and relatively high heritability of the corneal curvature and some keratoconus-related indices, such as ISV and IVA, confirm a high correlation between these phenotypes and genetic factors and warrant further investigation of the genetic mechanisms in keratoconus.
