Identification of a Heterozygous Mutation in the TGFBI Gene in a Hui-Chinese Family with Corneal Dystrophy
Figure 3
Optical coherence tomography and in vivo laser-scanning confocal microscopy images of patients in the Hui-Chinese family. (a) Optical coherence tomography scan of the patients (II : 1 and III : 1) demonstrated markedly increased reflectivity due to deposits within the superficial cornea. In vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy images showed many abnormal hyperreflective regions with irregular shapes existing in the basal epithelial cell layer (b) and the superficial stroma layer (c) of corneas in the patients (II : 1 and III : 1). Arrows indicate the abnormal and highly reflective deposits.
