PURPOSE: Types 1 and 2 granular corneal dystrophies (GCD) are primarily associated with accumulation of the R555W and R124H mutant transforming growth factor β-inducible proteins (TGFBIp) in corneal stroma, respectively. However, specific components of TGFBIp responsible for granular deposits have not been delineated. This study was undertaken to identify the mutant TGFBIp components potentially responsible for...
