Corneal ectasia associated with posterior lamellar opacification

However, genetic testing for PACD as well as BCS and PPCD in affected individuals fails to reveal pathogenic deletions or mutations, indicating that other genetic factors are involved.PMID:34003075 | DOI:10.1080/13816810.2021.1923034
