Clinical Description OMIM See 121700 for a summary of the classification of corneal dystrophies.

Odland (1968) described a Norwegian family with autosomal dominant inheritance of congenital corneal opacities that consisted of a large number of flakes and spots throughout ...

Molecular genetics OMIM Bredrup et al. (2005) identified a heterozygous deletion of 1 bp in exon 10 of the decorin gene (125255.0001) in all affected members of the family originally described by Odland (1968). Bredrup et al. (2005) postulated that the ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews The clinical diagnosis of congenital stromal corneal dystrophy is based on the presence of bilateral corneal opacities that can be seen at or shortly after birth (see Figure 1): ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Only five families with congenital stromal corneal dystrophy have been reported in the literature [Turpin et al 1939, Odland 1968, Witschel et al 1978, Van Ginderdeuren et al 2002, Kim et al 2011]. Some interfamilial variation has been noted among the affected individuals. ...
