Abstract
Familial lattice corneal dystrophy type I (LCD1) is a localized form of inherited amyloidosis limited to the corneal stroma. Recently the Finnish form of hereditary amyloidosis with lattice corneal dystrophy has been shown to be due to a mutation in the gelsolin gene (G654----A; Asp187----Asn). In this paper we exclude the gelsolin gene as the cause of the autosomal dominant form of isolated LCD1.
