Schnyder's dystrophy. Progression and metabolism.

W Lisch, E G Weidle, C Lisch

    Ophthalmic Paediatrics and Genetics
    |March 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Schnyder's corneal dystrophy involves corneal lipid metabolism, not systemic disease. Opacities progress and reappear after keratoplasty, with no clear link to lipid levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Metabolic Disorders

    Background:

    • Schnyder's corneal dystrophy (SCD) is a rare inherited eye disease.
    • Characterized by progressive corneal opacities, its exact pathogenesis and systemic involvement remain unclear.

    Observation:

    • A long-term cohort study followed two families with SCD from 1975-1984.
    • Researchers cataloged corneal opacity changes and analyzed lipid metabolism in affected and unaffected members.

    Findings:

    • Corneal opacities in SCD do not regress and can progress after penetrating keratoplasty.
    • While carriers showed altered lipid levels, no direct correlation was found between opacity severity and dyslipoproteinemia.
    • The study suggests SCD primarily affects corneal lipid metabolism.

    Implications:

    • Findings indicate Schnyder's corneal dystrophy is likely confined to the cornea, not a systemic condition.
    • Understanding the corneal lipid metabolism in SCD may guide future therapeutic strategies.
    • Further research into the genetic and molecular basis of corneal lipid deposition is warranted.
