High impact information on CDB2

Besides a corneal dystrophy (CDTB), no corresponding disease is localized at the homologous region of human chromosome 10q23 [1].
In addition the corneal phenotypes induced by changes at R124 and R555 are amino acid specific: R124C in CDLI, R555W and R124S in CDGGI, R124H in CDA, R124L in CRRB, and R555Q in CDTB [2].
5. Based on this evidence, we have identified another locus (CDB2) for corneal dystrophy of the anterior basement membrane/Bowman's membrane, Thiel-Behnke type, further demonstrating the exceptional genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of these diseases [3].
CONCLUSIONS: Mutations in the coding sequence of the human collagen XVII (COL17A1) gene are not the cause of CDB2 [4].
METHODS: We evaluated a five-generation family with CDB2 mapped to chromosome 10 [4].

Biological context of CDB2

Linkage mapping of Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy (CDB2) to chromosome 10q23-q24 [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CDB2

Recurrence of chromosome 10 Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy (CDB2) after excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy or penetrating keratoplasty [5].
