Abstract:Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the heritability of corneal parameters obtained by Pentacam in nuclear families with keratoconus (KC).
Methods
A total of 82 patients with KC and their biological parents (
n
= 164) were recruited in the current study. All subjects underwent corneal tomography with Pentacam. Family units were analyzed to calculate the heritability of corneal parameters by linear mixed effects model using the R statistica… Show more
