Given the identification of changed amounts of collagen and no affirmative data about relations between mutations in already researched collagen genes and KC, we analyzed the COL4A3 and COL4A4 genes, which are deregulated in KC patients, are often subjected to chromosomal aberrations, and could also be responsible for a decrease in collagen types I and III, a feature often detected in the disease [8,9,11,18,19,31]. This evidence concerns the gene COL4A4 and keratoconus.
