Granular corneal dystrophy type 2 is associated with morphological abnormalities of meibomian glands.

The British journal of ophthalmology - 1 Jan 2015

Sakimoto Tohru

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To investigate morphological changes in meibomian glands in patients with granular corneal dystrophy type 2 (GCD2) using non-invasive meibography. METHODS: Eleven patients (3 men and 8 women) with GCD2, and sex-matched and age-matched healthy volunteers as a controls were enrolled in this study. The diagnosis of GCD2 was confirmed by transforming growth factor β-induced (TGFBI) gene analysis using direct...
