Abstract

The most important utility of a biomarker is for early diagnosis. For this it is necessary to know the protein expression profile in physiological and pathological conditions. The best biomarkers are proteins: they can detect disease, activity, prognosis and therapeutic response. In keratoconus, biomarkers can be determined in tears, in blood cells and in corneal and conjunctival epithelial cells. The combination of all of them is crucial to know the physiopathology of ectasia and a great help for early diagnosis and monitoring of the disease.
