Epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy(ERED)

MedGen UID:
342263
Concept ID:
C1852551
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: CORNEAL EROSIONS, RECURRING HEREDITARY; ERED
SNOMED CT: Epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy of cornea (715908008); Epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy (715908008); Dystrophia Helsinglandica (715908008); Dystrophia Smolandiensis (715908008); Recurrent hereditary corneal erosions (715908008)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

Epithelial recurrent erosion dystrophy (ERED) is characterized by frequent painful recurrent corneal erosions, with onset in the first decade of life and subsequent gradual decrease in frequency, with cessation in the third or fourth decade. Small gray anterior stromal flecks associated with larger focal gray-white disc-shaped, circular, or wreath-like lesions with central clarity, in the Bowman layer and immediately subjacent anterior stroma, varying from 0.2 to 1.5 mm in diameter, appear to be clinically diagnostic of ERED (Oliver et al., 2016). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Ocular pain
MedGen UID:
57490
Concept ID:
C0151827
Sign or Symptom
An unpleasant sensation characterized by physical discomfort (such as pricking, throbbing, or aching) localized to the eye.
Photophobia
MedGen UID:
43220
Concept ID:
C0085636
Sign or Symptom
Excessive sensitivity to light with the sensation of discomfort or pain in the eyes due to exposure to bright light.
Epiphora
MedGen UID:
57518
Concept ID:
C0152227
Disease or Syndrome
Abnormally increased lacrimation, that is, excessive tearing (watering eye).
Corneal erosion
MedGen UID:
97882
Concept ID:
C0392163
Disease or Syndrome
An erosion or abrasion of the cornea's outermost layer of epithelial cells.
Visual impairment
MedGen UID:
777085
Concept ID:
C3665347
Finding
Visual impairment (or vision impairment) is vision loss (of a person) to such a degree as to qualify as an additional support need through a significant limitation of visual capability resulting from either disease, trauma, or congenital or degenerative conditions that cannot be corrected by conventional means, such as refractive correction, medication, or surgery.
