Description
This panel was developed and is maintained by VCGS.

The corneal dystrophies are a heterogenous group of bilateral genetically determined non-inflammatory corneal diseases that are restricted to the cornea, causing opacification. The corneal dystrophies can be divided into three groups based on the sole or predominant anatomical location of the abnormalities: (a). the anterior corneal dystrophies affect primarily the corneal epithelium and its basement membrane or Bowman layer and the superficial corneal stroma, (b).the stromal corneal dystrophies affect the corneal stroma, (c). the posterior corneal dystrophies affect the Descemet membrane and the corneal endothelium. 

This panel has been compared against the Genomics England PanelApp 'Corneal Dystrophy' panel with all discrepancies resolved, and reciprocal feedback provided to Genomics England, 27/07/2020.
