Alliance: disease page
Synonyms: anterior limiting membrane dystrophy type II; corneal dystrophy honeycomb-shaped; corneal dystrophy of Bowman layer type II; TBCD; Waardenburg-Jonker corneal dystrophy
Alt IDs: OMIM:602082, MESH:C535942, ORDO:98960, UMLS_CUI:C1562894
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.
