MeSH Supplementary: Corneal dystrophy Avellino type
Unique ID: C535474
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/C535474
Entry Term(s): Avellino corneal dystrophy; Combined Granular-Lattice Corneal Dystrophy; Combined granular-lattice corneal dystrophies; Corneal Dystrophy, Avellino Type; Granular Corneal Dystrophy, Type II; Granular and lattice corneal dystrophies; Granular corneal dystrophy type 2; Granular-lattice (Avellino) corneal dystrophy
Heading Mapped to: *Corneal Dystrophies, Hereditary
Frequency: 48
Note: A hereditary autosomal dominant corneal dystrophy that is characterized by the development of small granules on the stromal layer of the CORNEA which later develop into lesions with a lattice-like appearance. The lesions increase in size with age and may lead to decreased VISUAL ACUITY. Mutations in the TGFBI gene have been identified. OMIM: 607541
