Disease Associations

Corneal dystrophy, congenital stromal (CSCD) [MIM:610048]: A corneal dystrophy characterized by congenital corneal opacification consisting of a large number of flakes and spots throughout all layers of the stroma. It results in progressive, painless visual loss. Corneal erosions and photophobia are absent. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
