Average collagen fibril spacing, diameter, and coherence distances (± SD) in WT, heterozygous, and homozygous Chst5 corneas
| Genotype | n | Mean collagen fibril Bragg spacing, nm | Mean collagen fibril diameter, nm | Mean coherence distance, nm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chst5+/+ | 12 | 47.8 ± 3.5 | 36.5 ± 0.9 | 249.3 ± 17.2 |
| Chst5+/− | 11 | 48.3 ± 2.2 | 35.7 ± 0.6 | 236.0 ± 12.7 |
| Chst5−/− | 18 | 42.6 ± 3.4* | 34.7 ± 0.7* | 184.2 ± 19.2* |
*, P < 0.001 for both WT-null and heterozygote-null comparisons.
