Term Name:	Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy
Synonyms:	anterior limiting membrane dystrophy type II, corneal dystrophy honeycomb-shaped, corneal dystrophy of Bowman layer type II, TBCD, Waardenburg-Jonker corneal dystrophy
Definition:	An epithelial-stromal TGFBI dystrophy that is characterized by recurrent erosions and honeycomb-shaped opacification located_in the cornea, proteinaceous deposits in the anterior stroma and subepithelium, and progressive early vision loss, and has_material_basis_in autosomal dominant inheritance of heterozygous mutation of transforming growth factor beta-induced gene located in chromosome 5q31.1, which encodes keratoepithelin. Abnormalities lead to increased protein deposition and disruption especially of Bowman's membrane of the cornea.
