Ancestry was inferred from genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism array data. CTG18.1 status was determined by short tandem repeat and/or triplet-primed polymerase chain reaction. One or more expanded alleles (≥50 repeats) were classified as expansion-positive (Exp+). Expansion-negative (Exp-) cases were exome sequenced.Main Outcomes and MeasuresAssociation between variants in FECD-associated genes, demographic data, and age at first keratoplasty.ResultsWithin the total cohort (n = 894), 77.3% of patients were Exp+. Most European (668 of 829 [80.6%]) and South Asian (14 of 22 [63.6%]) patients were Exp+. The percentage of female patients was higher (151 [74.4%]) in the Exp- cohort compared to the Exp+ cohort (395 [57.2%]; difference, 17.2%; 95% CI, 10.1%-24.3%; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &amp;lt; .001). The median (IQR) age at first keratoplasty of the Exp + patients (68.2 years [63.2-73.6]) was older than the Exp- patients (61.3 years [52.6-70.4]; difference, 6.5 years; 95% CI, 3.4-9.7; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &amp;lt; .001). The CTG18.1 repeat length of the largest expanded allele within the Exp+ group was inversely correlated with the age at first keratoplasty (β, −0.087; 95% CI, −0.162 to −0.012; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .02). The ratio of biallelic to monoallelic expanded alleles was higher in the FECD cohort (1:14) compared to an unaffected control group (1:94; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &amp;lt; .001), indicating that 2 Exp+ alleles were associated with increased disease penetrance compared with 1 expansion. Potentially pathogenic variants (minor allele frequency, &amp;lt;0.01; combined annotation dependent depletion, &amp;gt;15) were only identified in FECD-associated genes in 13 Exp- individuals (10.1%).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this multicenter cohort study among individuals with FECD, CTG18.1 expansions were present in most European and South Asian patients, while CTG18.1 repeat length and zygosity status were associated with modifications in disease severity and penetrance. Known disease-associated genes accounted for only a minority of Exp- cases, with unknown risk factors associated with disease in the rest of this subgroup. These data may have implications for future FECD gene-targeted therapy development.","PeriodicalId":14518,"journal":{"name":"JAMA ophthalmology","volume":"213 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143618391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Telehealth vision initiatives were an important method to expand access (18 studies). Other topics included economic analysis (5 studies) and policy suggestions (3 studies) to increase vision services at FQHCs. Systemic barriers to accessing care at FQHCs were the lack of eye clinicians available to provide services, the cost of resources, and limited reimbursement to implement screening programs. Patient barriers to accessing care included financial constraints for specialist care, limited awareness of the importance of eye examinations, and difficulty navigating the insurance system.</p><p><strong>Conclusions and relevance: </strong>Findings of this systematic review suggest that FQHCs are well positioned to increase vision services and thus improve vision health equity, serving populations who are at a higher risk for vision disorders.
