Previous Indexing: *FUCHS' ENDOTHELIAL DYSTROPHY (2010-2015)
Heading Mapped to: *Corneal Dystrophies, Hereditary
Frequency: 24
Note: A hereditary autosomal recessive form of corneal dystrophy characterized by thickening and opacification of the CORNEA, altered morphology of the ENDOTHELIUM, and secretion of an abnormal collagenous layer at the DESCEMET MEMBRANE. There are both autosomal dominant (OMIM: 121700) and autosomal recessive (CHED2) forms, with the latter being more common and more severe. Mutations in the SLC4A11 gene have been identified.
