Our laboratory has developed two cell and tissue models in which endothelial corneal cells from FECD specimens are expanded in vitro (two-dimensional cell model) or used to recreate an endothelium on a healthy devitalized cornea (three-dimensional tissue model) (2001) conducted a genomewide search of a 3-generation family with early-onset FECD and identified a critical region of 6 to 7 cM at chromosome 1p34.3-p32, which includes the COL8A2 gene.COL8A2 encodes a short-chain collagen which is a component of endothelial basement membranes and which represented a strong candidate gene.

Some reports have suggested the co-occurrence of DM1 and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD), a disease, like DM1, that is linked to an expanded CTG repeat (in TCF4 rather than DMPK) and MBNL sequestration along with expanded CUG RNA in nuclear foci. FECD is most closely associated with CTG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the TCF4 gene of chromosome 18.
