Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nRecent genome‐wide investigations in a large UK Biobank cohort have implicated IQCF3 as one of the candidate genes underlying keratitis, a leading cause of legal blindness worldwide. In these analyses, a comprehensive SNP‐based genome‐wide association study identified 34 SNPs across 14 loci, while subsequent gene‐based tests recognized IQCF3—with a significant p value (2.0×10⁻⁶)—as a key candidate, alongside SOD3. These findings collectively support a genetic role for IQCF3 in the pathogenesis of keratitis."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\nIn addition, IQCF3 was prioritized among 32 candidate genes derived from integrative genomic analyses which further refined the list of 33 hub genes potentially critical to disease development. Functional annotations and transcription factor predictions concerning IQCF3 suggest that this gene may participate in the regulatory networks driving keratitis pathology."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\nOngoing characterization of IQCF3’s biological roles and its interplay with other gene candidates is expected to provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of keratitis, potentially guiding future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
