The unique opportunity to collect blood and fellow-eye corneal endothelium (one used for Iso-Seq and the other for primary HCEC line generation) from the same patients, and to then determine that TNR expansion in the TCF4 gene is longer in corneal endothelium DNA compared to those measured in leukocyte DNA is highly significant.
