Reis-Bücklers' corneal dystrophy (RBCD) is a relatively rare autosomal dominant disease originating in the Bowman's membrane, which causes severe visual impairment. Recently RBCD, together with lattice corneal dystrophy type I (LCDI), granular corneal dystrophy (CDGG1) and Avellino stromal dystrophy (ASD), all mapped on 5q31, were found to be associated to four different mutations in the beta ig-h3 gene which...
