Corneal Dystrophy, Fuchs Endothelial, 3; Fecd3

Description

Late-onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a degenerative disorder affecting roughly 4% of the population older than 40 years. It is distinguished from other corneal disorders by the progressive formation of guttae, which are microscopic refractile excrescences of the Descemet membrane, a collagen-rich basal lamina secreted by the corneal endothelium. From onset, it usually takes 2 decades for FECD to impair endothelial cell function seriously, leading to stromal edema and impaired vision (Sundin et al., 2006).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, see FECD1 (OMIM ).
