Meesmann corneal dystrophy has been linked to mutations to two separate genes, one (KTR3) on the long arm of chromosome 17 (17q12) and one (KTR12) on the long arm of chromosome 12 (12q13). [cornealdystrophyfoundation.org]

TGBFI is located on the long arm of chromosome V (5q31) and encodes for the adhesion molecule [ 2 ], which is an extracellular matrix adhesion protein inducible by transforming growth factor β (TGFBIp). [molvis.org]

Symptoms usually become apparent in childhood or adolescence and may include separation of layers of the cornea (corneal erosions), decreased vision, photosensitivity, and eye pain. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

[…] that causes Meesmann dystrophy has been localized to two keratin-specific genes, KRT3 on chromosome 12q12 and KRT12 on chromosome 17q12, making Meesmann dystrophy a category 1 corneal dystrophy. 6 Treatment is initially targeted to treat the pain and photosensitivity [reviewofoptometry.com]

A network of thick linear corneal opacities in patient with a variant of LCD1 (LCD type III) due to a homozygous p. Leu527Arg mutation in the TGFBI gene. [commons.wikimedia.org]

HOAs Based on Corneal Opacity Grading The amounts of stratified HOAs based on the corneal opacity grading in each case of corneal dystrophy were analyzed ( Fig 2 ). [journals.plos.org]

It is not clear why a single mutation can cause several corneal opacity patterns. However, atypical corneal opacity patterns may be characteristic of late-onset lattice corneal dystrophies. [molvis.org]

Slit lamp examination of the corneas will be performed, and the presence or absence of corneal opacities, whether characteristic or not of a TGFBI dystrophy, will be documented on the CRF form. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Corneal dystrophy, Thiel-Behnke type (CDTB) [MIM:602082]: A bilateral disorder of the cornea characterized by progressive honeycomb-like, subepithelial corneal opacities with recurrent erosions. [genecards.org]

An abnormal sensitivity to light (photophobia) and the sensation of foreign material within the eye may also occur. [cornealdystrophyfoundation.org]

Type II generally does not cause vision problems until later in life Symptoms - Corneal dystrophy- lattice- type 2 * Progressive vision loss * Photophobia Causes - Corneal dystrophy- lattice- type 2 Not supplied. [checkorphan.org]

Patient remains asymptomatic until epithelial erosions precipitate acute episodes of ocular hyperemia, pain, and photophobia. [ipfs.io]

Corneal erosions are very painful and can cause sensitivity to bright light (photophobia). Lattice corneal dystrophy type I is usually bilateral, which means it affects both eyes. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

In addition, the RCEs themselves cause pain and photophobia. Treatment is always case specific, but it is initially aimed at treating the RCEs to reduce the pain and photophobia. [reviewofoptometry.com]

However, in vitro biochemical analysis suggested the potential carboxy-terminal cleavage site on human TGFBI lies downstream of the RGD motif suggesting it is not cleaved from the full-length protein [ 56 ]. [molecular-cancer.biomedcentral.com]

If you don’t have symptoms, the doctor may suggest regular checkups to keep track of the disease. As your symptoms get worse, other treatment options include eye drops and ointments. [webmd.com]

It has been suggested that AMS is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [1] [3] This means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome, and two copies of the defective gene (one inherited from each parent) are required [checkrare.com]
