Keratoconus (KC) is a multifactorial, inflammatory corneal ectatic disorder. However, the etiopathogenesis is yet to be entirely understood. This video depicts the role of genetic (nature) and epigenetic (nurture) aspects in etiopathogenesis of KC. Understanding and modulation of these factors would enable us to predict, prevent and manage KC effectively.
