This prospective clinical trial saw favorable visual acuity and corneal topography outcomes after CTAK, supporting the recent commercial launch of CTAK and the potential for this procedure to be an alternative treatment option for patients with keratoconus.

AbstractIn somatic tissue differentiation, chromatin accessibility changes govern priming and precursor commitment towards cellular fates1,2,3. Therefore, somatic mutations are likely to alter chromatin accessibility patterns, as they disrupt differentiation topologies leading to abnormal clonal outgrowth. However, defining the impact of somatic mutations on the epigenome in human samples is challenging due to admixed mutated and wild-type cells.
