Abstract

Purpose. Mutations in the gene encoding the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP3) have been shown previously to cause Sorsby's fundus dystrophy, an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by extracellular matrix irregularities in Bruch's membrane. To assess the involvement of TIMP3 in a variety of other macular dystrophies, the authors have screened this gene for disease-causing ...
