Journal ArticleDOI
IC3D Classification of Corneal Dystrophies—Edition 2
Jayne S. Weiss,Hans Ulrik Møller,Anthony J. Aldave,Berthold Seitz,Cecilie Bredrup,Tero Kivelä,Francis L. Munier,Christopher J. Rapuano,Kanwal K. Nischal,Eung Kweon Kim,John E. Sutphin,Massimo Busin,Antoine Labbé,Kenneth R. Kenyon,Shigeru Kinoshita,Walter Lisch +15 more
TL;DR: This revision of the IC3D classification includes an updated anatomic classification of corneal dystrophy more accurately classifying TGFBI dystrophies that affect multiple layers rather than are confined to one cornean layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The IC3D classification of the corneal dystrophies
Jayne S. Weiss,Hans Ulrik Møller,Walter Lisch,Shigeru Kinoshita,Anthony J. Aldave,Michael W. Belin,Tero Kivelä,Massimo Busin,Francis L. Munier,Berthold Seitz,John E. Sutphin,Cecilie Bredrup,Mark J. Mannis,Christopher J. Rapuano,Gabriel van Rij,Eung Kweon Kim,Gordon K. Klintworth +16 more
TL;DR: A new classification system for corneal dystrophies is developed, integrating up-to-date information on phenotypic description, pathologic examination, and genetic analysis with new genetic, clinical, and pathologic information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in the UBIAD1 gene on chromosome short arm 1, region 36, cause Schnyder crystalline corneal dystrophy.
Jayne S. Weiss,Howard S. Kruth,Helena Kuivaniemi,Gerard Tromp,Peter White,R. Scott Winters,Walter Lisch,Wolfram Henn,Elke Denninger,M. Krause,Paul J. Wasson,Neil D. Ebenezer,Sunil Mahurkar,Michael L. Nickerson +13 more
TL;DR: Nonsynonymous mutations in the UBIAD1 gene were detected in six SCCD families, and a potential mutation hot spot was observed at amino acid N102, where a prenyl-transferase domain and several transmembrane helices are affected by these mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic analysis of 14 families with Schnyder crystalline corneal dystrophy reveals clues to UBIAD1 protein function.
Jayne S. Weiss,Howard S. Kruth,Helena Kuivaniemi,Gerard Tromp,Jayaprakash Karkera,Sunil Mahurkar,Walter Lisch,William J. Dupps,Peter White,R. Scott Winters,Chaesik Kim,Christopher J. Rapuano,John E. Sutphin,James J. Reidy,Fung-Rong Hu,Da Wen Lu,Neil D. Ebenezer,Michael L. Nickerson +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors further characterize the mutation spectrum of SCCD and identify structural and functional consequences for UBIAD1 protein activity, including ligand binding and interaction with binding partners, like apo E. The results suggest that N102S may be a mutation hot spot.

TL;DR: Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) using a 193-nm excimer laser is the method of choice today and various techniques of lamellar keratoplasties represent an indispensable enrichment of the authors' corneal microsurgical spectrum today.
