MedGen UID:
387857
•Concept ID:
C1857569

Congenital Abnormality; Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy of the cornea; Corneal dystrophy, congenital hereditary endothelial; Corneal endothelial dystrophy type 2; Corneal endothelial dystrophy, autosomal recessive; Maumenee corneal dystrophy
SNOMED CT: Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, autosomal recessive form (417395001); CHED II - Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy II (417395001); Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy type 2 (417395001)

C0441748
•
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
Autosomal recessive inheritance (Orphanet)
 
Gene (location): SLC4A11 (20p13)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0009019
OMIM®: 217700
Orphanet: ORPHA293603

Definition

Corneal endothelial dystrophy is characterized by thickening and opacification of the cornea, altered morphology of the endothelium, and secretion of an abnormal collagenous layer at the Descemet membrane (summary by Vithana et al., 2006). [from OMIM]
