Congenital Corneal Leucoma
Patient (Male 26) has been diagnosed with Corneal Leucoma in his right eye at birth. Patient had undergone Keratoplasty, but the problem persists till date. I was wondering what the impact would be on the kid genetically, in case the child inherits the gene. What is the probability that the child would have the same condition and if so, is there a way to predict and prevent it?
