mBD3 was differentially expressed in mice cornea (Kolar et al., 2013); FHL and zinc-alpha-2 glycoprotein were differentially expressed in the tears of patients with keratitis infected by A. flavus and Fusarium spp (Shait Mohammed et al., 2020; Ananthi et al., 2013; Parthiban et al., 2019). The gene discussed is MBD3; the disease is keratitis.
