“…Interestingly, the correlation between CTG18.1 expansion and FECD is also striking, although typically lower, in other non-Caucasian ethnic groups investigated to date. This includes African Americans (35%) ( Eghrari et al, 2017a ), Indians (17% and 34%) ( Nanda et al, 2014 ; Rao et al, 2017 ), Japanese (26%) ( Nakano et al, 2015 ), Singaporean Chinese (44%) ( Xing et al, 2014 ), and Thai (39%) ( Okumura et al, 2019c ). Notably, CTG18.1 genotyping studies have consistently identified a bimodal distribution of repeat lengths, with the vast majority of patients typically harbouring repeat sizes of <30 or >50 ( Zarouchlioti et al, 2018 ).…”
