Purpose: Congenital stromal corneal dystrophy (CSCD) is a rare congenital, dominantly inherited disorder characterized by diffuse stromal opacification associated with mutations in the decorin gene ( DCN ). As only 5 families with genetically confirmed CSCD have been reported, the identification of a novel pedigree provides the opportunity to better characterize the phenotype and genetic basis.
Methods: An Armenian family with individuals in 4 consecutive generations demonstrated clinical features consistent with CSCD.
