    Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy is a genetic eye condition inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern. This study confirms its genetic basis and typical corneal progression, noting increased severity in females.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics
    • Corneal Diseases

    Background:

    • Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy is a progressive bilateral corneal disease.
    • Its genetic basis and inheritance patterns require further elucidation.
    • Understanding inheritance is crucial for genetic counseling and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the inheritance pattern of Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy.
    • To characterize the clinical and pathological progression of the disease.
    • To determine the mode of inheritance and genetic penetrance.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of 102 individuals from 25 families.
    • Corneal pachymetry and specular microscopy.
    • Review of 79 pathology records for penetrating keratoplasties.

    Main Results:

    • Autosomal-dominant inheritance with high penetrance was observed.
    • A typical corneal pattern of guttata progression was documented.
    • Females showed generally increased disease severity.

    Conclusions:

    • Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy is a true corneal dystrophy.
    • The condition follows an autosomal-dominant inheritance pattern.
    • Variable expressivity and sex-influenced severity are characteristic.
