Hereditary Nonprogressive Deep Corneal Dystrophy

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1961
Hereditary nonprogressive deep corneal dystrophy is a relatively rare disease involving only Descemet's membrane and the endothelium of the cornea. It is not progressive with age. The disease appears to be on a hereditary basis and is more severe in the succeeding generations.

The intraocular straylight function in some hereditary corneal dystrophies

Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1993
The direct compensation method allows for an accurate determination of intraocular light scattering between 3.5 and 25 degrees of scattering angle and is suitable for untrained subjects. The method was used to study light scattering in four forms of hereditary corneal dystrophies.

Corneal Amyloidosis Associated with Congenital Hereditary Endothelial Dystrophy

Cornea, 2000
To report the unusual occurrence of corneal amyloidosis indistinguishable from primary gelatinous drop-like dystrophy in three members of a family with congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED).Case study of three patients.Three patients, a 5-year-old girl, her 21-year-old maternal aunt, and a 16-year-old paternal uncle, presented with ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Fuchs and Congenital Hereditary Endothelial Corneal Dystrophies

2020
The cornea, the eye's outermost layer, protects the eye from the environment. The cornea's innermost layer is an endothelium separating the stromal layer from the aqueous humor. A central role of the endothelium is to maintain stromal hydration state. Defects in maintaining this hydration can impair corneal clarity and thus visual acuity.

TGFBI Gene Mutation Analysis in Families with Hereditary Corneal Dystrophies from Ukraine

Ophthalmologica, 2004
In our study, 5 previously reported mutations of the TGFBI gene – R124C, R124H, R124L (exon 4), R555W, R555Q (exon 12) – were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction digestion in 48 individuals from 19 unrelated families with different forms of corneal dystrophy from different regions of Ukraine. The R555W mutation was detected

Hereditary opacification of the anterior and posterior cornea: a new corneal dystrophy?

Acta Ophthalmologica, 2008
Abstract Purpose To describe an inherited, progressive corneal disorder observed in a small Swedish family. Methods A mother and her son were initially examined for atypically‐distributed bilateral corneal opacities. Three years later, re‐examination of the mother and son and two additional family members was conducted using slit‐lamp biomicroscopy and

Hereditary corneal dystrophy in the Manx cat: a preliminary report.

Investigative ophthalmology, 1976
A progressive, apparently inherited corneal dystrophy is described in an inbred line of Manx cats. Initial changes in the cornea are seen at four months of age and characterized by anterior stromal edema. Progressive worsening of the condition produces severe bullous keratopathy with eventual breakdown of both epithelium and stroma.

Cholesterol turnover in hereditary crystalline corneal dystrophy of Schnyder.

Transactions of the American Ophthalmological Society, 1979
A patient with hereditary crystalline corneal dystrophy of Schnyder required penetrating keratoplasty because of poor visual acuity. Blood cholesterol was labeled with 14C-cholesterol and 11 days later a penetrating keratoplasty was done. At the time of surgery, corneal levels of cholesterol were much higher than serum levels, showing that cornea is an
