Two corneal dystrophies, posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD) and keratoconus, have been associated with missense mutations found in the transcription factor-encoding gene Visual System Homeobox 1 (VSX1). Despite this association, the pathogenic link between VSX1 and these diseases remain...
