Posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD) is a hereditary bilateral disorder affecting
Descemet's membrane and the endothelium. The aim of the present study was to determine
the spectrum of cytokeratin (CK) expression in cells on the posterior surface of the cornea in
PPCD patients. Ten corneal buttons and one specimen of the trabecular meshwork (TM)
from PPCD patients who underwent graft or glaucoma surgery were used, as well as six
corneal buttons and two TM specimens obtained from healthy donors as controls …
