General Information
Term Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy ID (Ontology) DOID:0060455 (Human Disease)
Definition An epithelial-stromal TGFBI dystrophy that is characterized by recurrent erosions and honeycomb-shaped opacification located_in the cornea, proteinaceous deposits in the anterior stroma and subepithelium, and progressive early vision loss, and has_material_basis_in autosomal dominant inheritance of heterozygous mutation of transforming growth factor beta-induced gene located in chromosome 5q31.1, which encodes keratoepithelin. Abnormalities lead to increased protein deposition and disruption especially of Bowman's membrane of the cornea.
Also Known As "anterior limiting membrane dystrophy type II" ; "corneal dystrophy honeycomb-shaped" ; "corneal dystrophy of Bowman layer type II" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
