Figure 4. Phenotype of variant
lattice corneal dystrophy (L527R mutation) with asymmetric
corneal opacity in eye laterality, in a 67-year-old female. A,
B: Several bifurcating, thick lattice lines in the
superficial stroma of the right cornea. C, D:
Discrete and nodular opacities were noted in the deep stroma of
the central cornea. E: DNA sequence analysis of the TGFBI
gene (upper) and a heterozygous point mutation, CTG→CGG (c.1580
T>G: Leu527Arg in exon 12) in codon 527 (bottom).
