Keratoconus is associated with increased copy number of mitochondrial DNA
PURPOSE: To investigate the possible association of oxidative stress with keratoconus (KC), we estimated the changes in relative mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content. METHODS: The study included 119 patients with KC and 208 controls matched for gender, ethnicity, and systemic disease status. We selecte...
