Corneal Dystrophy

Background: The eyeGENE (Registered Trademark) program is a research resource for inherited eye conditions which includes genotypic and phenotypic data, imaging, and a corresponding biobank of DNA samples from people with a variety of eye diseases. Since 2007 this registry has been helping researchers learn more about the genetic sources for many inherited eye diseases. These findings helped them create better treatments. Now researchers want to expand eyeGENE (Registered Trademark) to include more people for certain eye diseases. Objective: To collect information and DNA samples for the study of eye diseases. * Primary objective --To expand the current eyeGENE (Registered Trademark) data repository with targeted participant accrual * Secondary objectives * To enhance recruitment for clinical trials and investigations in inherited eye diseases * To establish genotype-phenotype correlations for rare eye diseases Eligibility: People of any age with certain eye diseases. These can include aniridia; Best disease; blue-cone monochromacy; corneal dystrophy; and disorders of pigmentation, such as albinism. Relatives unaffected by the eye disease of interest may also be nee
