COM

In a large 4-generation family, Sullivan et al. showed that the Thiel-Behnke form of corneal dystrophy was linked to 10q24 (Sullivan-1997)."

PAT

Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy is a progressive disease of the anterior basement membrane that leads to scarring, pain, and photophobia."

CAG

Previously this form of corneal dystrophy was grouped with Reis-Bucklers corneal dystrophy (see GEM:05q31/TGFBI) or with Meesmann corneal dystrophy caused by mutation in the keratin 12 gene (GEM:17q/KRT12) or in the keratin 3 gene (GEM:12q1/KRT3)."
