Description : corneal dystrophy (CDA) is caused by mutation in the gene encoding keratoepithelin
(TGFBI; 601692). Several other forms of autosomal dominant corneal dystrophy are caused
by mutation in this gene, which maps to chromosome 5q31.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the transforming growth factor, beta-induced, 68kD gene (TGFBI,
601692.0004);
