Punctiform and polychromatic pre-Descemet corneal dystrophy
概要
Punctiform and polychromatic pre-Descemet corneal dystrophy (PPPCD) is a rare autosomal dominant corneal dystrophy characterized by the presence of punctiform, multicolored opacities in the posterior stroma, immediately anterior to the Descemet membrane. PPPCD is currently considered a subtype of pre-Descemet corneal dystrophy (PDCD). It has been reported that mutations in PRDX3 cause PPPCD. PRDX3 encodes a mitochondrial protein with antioxidant function.
