Corneal Dystrophy, Lattice Type
Corneal Dystrophy, Lattice Type (Lattice Corneal Dystrophy; LCD; Lattice Dystrophy Type I; Biber-Haab-Dimmer Dystrophy)
General: Autosomal dominant; progression to severe visual impairment by fifth or sixth decade.
Ocular: Grayish lines between the centers of cornea and periphery; rounded dots scattered over the cornea; elongated deposits that form reticular pattern in corneal stoma; keratoconus.
Clinical: Secondary form of inherited localized amyloidosis inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with low penetrance.
