Abstract excerpt
Six autosomal dominant corneal dystrophies are caused by mutations in the TGFBI (BIGH3) gene on chromosome 5q31: three types of lattice corneal dystrophy (LCD), including type I and type IIIA, granular, Avellino (ACD), and Reis-Bucklers. Initially an exact genotype-phenotype correlation was reported. We report three families, with differing clinical features, all presenting with "granular" corneal dystrophy. We...
