Complete SLC4A11 Detection in Saudi Congenital Hereditary Endothelial Dystrophy: A Transmembrane Glycine Hotspot and a Recurrent Splice Donor Allele in Consanguineous Patients

Its genetic spectrum is well described in the Indian subcontinent, but poorly characterized in the Saudi population, where high rates of consanguinity ma...
