Trisomy 8 mosaicism (T8M): It is a rare chromosome disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 8 in some cells of the body. Dense corneal opacities may occur in trisomy 8 mosaicism. [25] Farber's disease: Nodular corneal opacity may be seen in association with this rare autosomal recessive disease. [25]
Like the name of the condition implies, this condition is inherited following an autosomal dominant pattern, which means that only one copy of a certain mutation (in this case, the duplication of the LMNB1 gene) is needed for a trait or disorder to be expressed, in familial cases, offspring have a 1 in 2, or 50% chance of inheriting a copy of ...

Norrie disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the NDP gene, located on Xp11.4 (GeneID: 4693). [22] It is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. This means that almost only males are affected. Sons of affected men will not have the mutation, while all of their daughters will be genetic carriers of the mutation. Female ...
