Corneal dystrophy Avellino type [Supplementary Concept]
A hereditary autosomal dominant corneal dystrophy that is characterized by the development of small granules on the stromal layer of the CORNEA which later develop into lesions with a lattice-like appearance. The lesions increase in size with age and may lead to decreased VISUAL ACUITY. Mutations in the TGFBI gene have been identified. OMIM: 607541
