One patient had a history of congenital glaucoma with myopia, and one of uveitis with corneal dystrophy.

Evidence was found for linkage of the gene for Lisch corneal dystrophy to Xp22.3.

Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) leads to vision loss and is one of the most common inherited eye diseases.

Methods: We examined at the slit lamp a total of 48 members of a family with an aggregation of Lisch corneal dystrophy.
