Description : Gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized
by severe corneal amyloidosis leading to blindness. Clinical manifestations, which
appear in the first decade of life, include blurred vision, photophobia, and foreign-body
sensation. By the third decade, raised, yellowish-gray, gelatinous masses severely
impair visual acuity, and lamellar keratoplasty is required for most patients (summary
by Tsujikawa et al., 1999).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 gene (TACSTD2,
