Corneal stromal dystrophies
2023, Ophthalmic Pathology: The Evolution of Modern ConceptsEarly and late clinical landmarks of corneal dystrophies
2020, Experimental Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :Subjective symptoms include the visual acuity of individuals with GCD2 that is better on average than those with GCD1and more recurrent epithelial erosions than in GCD1. Histopathology includes hyaline deposits as in GCD1, but in the advanced age amyloid deposits of the stroma can be observed which correlate clinically with the stromal haze (Folberg et al., 1988). Therapy includes artificial drops and PTK.
Clinical and genetic update of corneal dystrophies
2019, Experimental Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :The histopathology of GCD2 patients older than 65 years demonstrates hyaline and amyloid deposits. The amyloid deposits correlate with the stromal haze between the GCD2 opacities (Folberg et al., 1988). MCD is very common in Iceland, despite the small population of this country.
Pathogenesis and treatments of TGFBI corneal dystrophies
2016, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :Substitution of arginine for histidine at codon 124 (p.Arg124His) is associated with this disease. In 1988, Folberg et al. (1988) reported the histopathological features of hyaline and amyloid deposits in these patients. In 1992, Holland et al. (1992) reported two related American families whose origin was Avellino, Italy, and since then, GCD2 has also been called “Avellino corneal dystrophy.”
