PURPOSE: Determination of the gene causing Thiel-Behnke Corneal Dystrophy (CDB2) would have important clinical implications. Previous studies in our laboratory have suggested that the COL17A1 gene may be the cause of Thiel-Behnke Corneal Dystrophy (CDB2) on Chromosome 10q23-q25. METHODS: We evaluated a five-generation family with CDB2 mapped to chromosome 10. Many of these family members were diagnosed by...
