•: Disease or Syndrome

Groenouw type I, or granular type I, corneal dystrophy (CDGG1) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by irregular aggregates of hyaline material in the corneal stroma. These aggregates can cause significant visual disturbance and may require corneal transplantation for restoration of visual acuity or for relief from recurrent corneal erosions (summary by Stone et al., 1994).
