Congenital HereditaryStromal Dystrophy (CHSD) : Congenital, autosomal dominant inherited bilateral, non-progressive, diffuse flaky lesions in the central anterior stroma, which may involve the posterior stroma Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) : normal lamellae of collagen fibrils separated by abnormal collagen fibrils which were haphazardly arranged in the electron-lucent background layers Bredrup C, Knappskog PM, Majewski J, et al. Congenital stromal dystrophy of the cornea caused by a mutation in the decorin gene. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2005;46(2):420-6.
Congenital HereditaryStromal Dystrophy (CHSD) Only 4 families with CHSD were reported. The decorin gene (DCN) was identified as a causative gene of CHSD in 2005.

Decorin Class I family of small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan (SLRP) Function - Formation and/or organization of collagen fibrils - Modulation of cell adhesion, angiogenesis, cell matrix formation - Modulation of the activity of growth factors (TGF-β) - TGF-β-independent effects on cell proliferation and behavior
Patients and Methods Ophthalmic examination Slit lamp examination Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) Anterior segment optical coherent tomography (OCT, Visante OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc., Dublin, CA) Confocal microscopy (ConfoScan 4, Nidek Technologies, Padova, Italy) Pathologic examination Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) Masson’s Trichrome Alcian blue Congo Red Periodic acid stain (PAS Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) DNA analysis
Results : Case Reports F/29 corneal opacities in her both eyes from her childhood the same symptom in her daughter from birth MR -3.0D -0.75D X 30˚ (20/25) -2.0D -1.5D X 150˚ (20/32) Intraocular pressure : 17 mmHg OD 19mmHg OS
Results : Case 1 Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) using a big-bubble technique and a 60 kHz femtosecond laser (IntraLase™, Abbott Medical Optics, Irvine, CA) for zigzag-shaped incisions POD 7 months 2148 cell/mm2
Results : Pathologic findings Thin collagen fibril in electron-lucent background layer A few focal infiltration of neutrophils Normal keratocyte Normal collagen lamellae
Results : Case 2 F/1 corneal opacities in her both eyes after birth V 20/150 OD 20/150 OS (Teller Visual Acuity) Thin collagen fibril in electron-lucent background layer Bilateral Penetrating keratoplasty OS OD POD 7 years
Results : DNA analysis The proband : c.947delG (p.Gly316AspfsX12) The proband’s daughter : c.947delG (p.Gly316AspfsX12) The proband’s son (no clinical manifestation) : normal
Conclusions • Congenital Hereditary Stromal Dystrophy in a Korean family • : the 3rd family confirmed by DNA analysis in the world • A novel frameshift mutation : c.947delG (p.Gly316AspfsX12) • : Premature truncated protein lacking 33 amino acid C-terminal • - Residues within the ear repeat in C-terminal • related to functional specialization • Premature truncation in C-terminal might disturb ligand bindings • The DCN gene can be a major causing gene of CHSD
