Lattice corneal dystrophies

Definition:

Lattice corneal dystrophy (LCD), the most common of the stromal corneal dystrophies, is an autosomal dominant dystrophy with variable expression. Clinical findings include the presence of a linear network of subepithelial opacities (lattice lines). LCD associated with the mutations in the TGFBI gene has been reported.
