Sex Chromosome Analysis of Postmortem Corneal Endothelium after Sex-Mismatch Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Purpose: To identify the origin of corneal endothelial cells (host or donor) present on grafts at various time points after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of sex chromosomes on post mortem corneas with sex mismatch between the donor and host.
