Presentation
Abstract The homeodomain-containing transcription factor Pitx2 (pituitary homeobox protein 2) is present in many developing embryonic tissues, including the heart. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They are present at birth and appear as raised yellow-white tissue which can be segmental or extend for the full limbal circumference. Some present as a dark ring around the cornea. The apophyses can be elevated 2-3mm and extend for 3-5mm laterally. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Presents a detailed exposition of the growing number of techniques for lamellar keratoplasty, including outcomes. Includes new sections on the latest developments in the management of ocular surface disease. [books.google.com]
Hailed as the sharpest, most accurate collection of corneal images available, it is the only atlas that offers such an easy-to-understand, up-to-date review of clinical presentations and surgical techniques for all corneal and external eye disorders. [books.google.de]

Suggestibility
Our data correlate well with clinical observations suggesting a milder deficiency for the R24H mutation compared to those of other Pitx2 homeodomain mutations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Given that PITX2 functions in eye development, these findings suggest mutations in PITX2 as a potential cause of RDC. [jmg.bmj.com]
Transmission is autosomal dominant and mutations in the PITX2 gene have been suggested as a potential cause of the condition. Last updated: 4/11/2007 This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
CONCLUSION: The rare coincidence of a dermoid cyst and Klippel-Feil syndrome suggests the possibility that a disturbance in the mesoderm before the fourth week of gestation might play an important part in the causation of dermoid cyst [17]. [wikigenes.org]
The results of this study suggest that genetic variants in PRDM5 can lead to various syndromic and nonsyndromic disorders affecting the anterior segment of the eye. [link.springer.com]

Treatment
Treatment Treatment Options: Surgical excision may be necessary in patients with extensive disease. Patients need to be monitored for cataracts, amblyopia, and glaucoma. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

While pediatric treatment is generally the same as adult treatment, it requires extra care to ensure nontoxicity due to blood absorption. 8 Metabolic Conditions Children with corneal deposits may present with several congenital metabolic disorders: Cystinosis [reviewofcontactlenses.com]
Prognosis
Diagnosis and Prognosis: The diagnosis is made by an ophthalmologist. It can be surgically removed but this is not always necessary. The astigmatism may be correctable with refractive surgery. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Although visual prognosis is good, patients have to be monitored for complications of treatment. [patient.info]
Etiology
The three conditions classified under Bowman’s layer dystrophy were once thought to be the same etiology and only recently have been distinguished, based on microscopic appearance and clinical presentation. [reviewofcontactlenses.com]
In contrast with the peripheral abnormalities, the central disorders have two separate etiologies, primary dysgenesis and secondary to inflammation, but the clinical and histopathologic distinction between the two is difficult. [entokey.com]
