Abstract
Purpose to determine whether patients with Keratoconus and have evidence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions. Twenty seven Saudi Arabian patients with Keratoconus were recruited in this study. We compare their results to our database which contains mtDNA deletion information for 150 Saudi healthy controls free of systemic and ocular disease including Keratoconus. None of the Keratoconus patients screened had evidence of mtDNA deletion(s). mtDNA deletion(s) were not detected in any of the patients tested here. Other genetic or epigenetic factors cannot be excluded as a possible contributing factor to Keratoconus pathogenesis.
