Another KC-gene-study

[Markus]

Hello!

Maybe you knew this already, and its a little older than the french study, but maybe its interesting anyway!

Hello Markus,

Je crois que cette équipe japonaise travaille avec le Pr Malcaze.
Il s'est rendu au Japon, l'année dernière pour une étude qui a été faite sur 200 patients atteints de KC (La forme familiale).

Petite question: Concernant la recherche génétique, qu'en est-il en Allemagne ? Est-ce qu'il ya des pistes ?

Hi Vincent!

I did not find any german research for keratoconus-gene in germany so far.
I asked my doctor, and he also did't know one, but he wants to have a look and tries to find out if there is one.

But I found another research that is dealing with it. But I dont know if its updated or not. And maybe its already known...?

J'ai lu quelque chose concernant cette étude il y deux ans, me semble-t-il.

Yaron Rabinowitz c'est un des plus grands pontes en matière de kératocône. Il a écrit, entre autres, "Keratoconus - A Majpr Review" publié dans le journal "Survey of Ophthalmology" en 1998.

Hi Markus!

Great link! Rabinowitz is a ophthalmologist specializing in the Cornea. And his team participate, since 2000, in the Keratoconus Genetic Research Program.

asked my doctor, and he also did't know one, but he wants to have a look and tries to find out if there is one.

Thx to your Doc. May be yes

Have a nice week

Vincent
