Corneal dystrophy Avellino type

A hereditary autosomal dominant corneal dystrophy that is characterized by the development of small granules on the stromal layer of the CORNEA which later develop into lesions with a lattice-like appearance. The lesions increase in size with age and may lead to decreased VISUAL ACUITY. Mutations in the TGFBI gene have been identified. OMIM: 607541
Also Known As:
Avellino corneal dystrophy; Combined Granular-Lattice Corneal Dystrophy; Combined granular-lattice corneal dystrophies; Corneal Dystrophy, Avellino Type; Granular Corneal Dystrophy, Type II; Granular and lattice corneal dystrophies; Granular corneal dystrophy type 2; Granular-lattice (Avellino) corneal dystrophy
