Biomarker detection and validation for corneal involvement in patients with acute infectious conjunctivitis: A multi-country study

This dataset accompanies the study “Biomarker Detection and Validation for Corneal Involvement in Patients With Acute Infectious Conjunctivitis,” published in JAMA Ophthalmology (doi:10.1001/jamaophthalmol.2024.2891). The study utilized transcriptomic data and machine learning approaches to identify biomarkers associated with corneal involvement in conjunctivitis patients, with apolipoprotein E (APOE) emerging as a key biomarker. The dataset includes raw transcriptomic counts, sample metadata, and gene mapping files, enabling replication and further exploration of the findings.

Ethical considerations have been addressed, with all patient data anonymized and deidentified to protect privacy.
