Corneal dystrophy, Fuchs endothelial, 4
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common genetic disorder of the corneal endothelium. Late-onset FECD is marked by thickening of Descemets membrane and excrescences, called guttae, that typically appear in the fourth or fifth decade. Disease progression results in decreased visual acuity as a result of increasing corneal edema, and end-stage disease is marked by painful epithelial bullae (summary by Riazuddin et al., 2013). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, see FECD1 (136800). [from OMIM]
Corneal dystrophy-perceptive deafness syndrome
Harboyan syndrome, or corneal dystrophy and perceptive deafness (CDPD), consists of congenital corneal endothelial dystrophy and progressive sensorineural deafness, and is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait (summary by Desir et al., 2007). [from OMIM]
Congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy of cornea
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]
