Meesmann Corneal Dystrophy with Epithelial Basement Membrane Abnormalities: Clinical and Genetic Analysis of Two Families with Novel and Known Mutations in KRT3 and KRT12.

Abstract excerpt

This study describes the clinical and genetic features of Meesmann epithelial corneal dystrophy (MECD) in two unrelated families and reports new genotype-phenotype associations. Ten patients from a Lebanese family (n = 4) (Family 1) and a Spanish family (n = 6) (Family 2) underwent ophthalmologic evaluation, in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM), anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) with epithelial...
