Alpha 2 Collagen VIII (Col8a2) Q455K Knock-in Mouse Model of Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy

Unmet Need:Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a genetic disease affecting the cornea and is estimated to affect 7% of the adult population (see Aiello et al. 2022). The first genetic defect shown to cause FECD was a point mutation in the alpha 2 collagen 8 gene (Col8a2). The disease results in a buildup of fluid in the cornea and causes...
