Granular corneal dystrophy (GCD) is a rare, inherited condition characterized by granular deposits in the stromal layer of the cornea, leading to slow progression of visual impairment due to loss of corneal transparency.

Granular corneal dystrophy is the slow forming of deposits in the middle layer of the cornea, which can lead to vision impairment and discomfort. Symptoms include decreased vision and eye discomfort or pain.

2022年3月31日 · Gain an understanding of the epidemiology, symptoms, testing, treatment, and prognosis for the two subtypes of granular corneal dystrophy. Corneal dystrophies are a rare and heterogeneous group of hereditary, non-inflammatory disorders caused by a range of deposited substances within the cornea.

Granular corneal dystrophy is a slowly progressive corneal dystrophy that most often begins in early childhood. Granular corneal dystrophy has two types: Granular corneal dystrophy type I, also corneal dystrophy Groenouw type I, is a rare form of human corneal dystrophy

2024年9月24日 · “Corneal dystrophy” is an umbrella term for over 20 different diseases that affect the cornea of your eye. Dystrophy-type corneal diseases can cause tissue changes or damage that disrupt how light passes through your corneas.

Granular corneal dystrophy type 2 (GCD2) is an autosomal dominant corneal stromal dystrophy that is caused by p.Arg124His mutation of transforming growth factor β induced (TGFBI) gene. It is characterized by well demarcated granular shaped opacities ...

Granular Corneal Dystrophy Type I. This form of corneal dystrophy is characterized by the development of small particles (granules) that collectively resemble breadcrumbs, usually during the second or third decade of life. These lesions slowly grow eventually combining (coalescing) to form larger lesions. Individuals may develop recurrent erosions.

2023年5月29日 · Granular corneal dystrophy (GCD) is an inherited eye disorder that affects the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. This autosomal dominant condition is caused by mutations in the TGFBI gene, responsible for encoding a protein found throughout the body, including the cornea.

2023年4月4日 · Granular corneal dystrophy (GCD), an IC3D category 1 dystrophy, is an autosomal-dominant, bilateral, noninflammatory condition that results in deposition of discrete, irregularly shaped...
