All the important and relevant signs and symptoms were recorded. Amsler-Krumeich's (AK) classification was followed to grade KC corneas. We screened for the novel as well as reported sequence variations in five candidate genes namely Lysyl oxidase (LOX), Visual system homeobox 1 (VSX1), MicroRNA 184 (MIR184), Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), and exons 4 and 12 of Transforming growth factor beta-induced (TGF\u03b2-I).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a novel double variant p.(Pro32Arg) and p.(Gln67Glu) in the LOX gene in a sporadic male patient with Grade I (OD) and Grade II (OS) of KC. A recurrent variant p.(His244Arg) in the VSX1 gene was also observed in a sporadic female patient with Grade I of KC in both eyes. These variants were absent in 100 unrelated ethnically matched case controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ours is the first study on molecular genetic analysis of Keratoconus patients from Assam. The novel variants p.(Pro32Arg) and p.(Gln67Glu) observed further expand the mutational spectrum of the LOX gene associated with KC. We are also the first group to report the recurrent p.(His244Arg) variant in the VSX1 gene from India. The observed variant p.(His244Arg) in the VSX1 gene could be the result of a founder effect and may be investigated further.<\/jats:p>\n
