Nonsense mutations of TGFBI (p.(Arg179*) and p.(Tyr468*)) manifested severe granular corneal dystrophy 2 (GCD2) phenotypes. (a) Slit-lamp photographs of members of Family 8. Extensive multiple discoid granular deposits, with some annular deposits, were detected, resembling the features of homozygous GCD2 in Proband 8 carrying TGFBI p.(Arg179*) and p.(Arg124His) mutations. Her father carrying heterozygous TGFBI p.(Arg124His) mutation showed milder phenotypes than the proband, and the mother carrying heterozygous TGFBI p.(Arg179*) showed no corneal opacity. (b) Slit-lamp photographs of Proband 9 and his mother. Proband 9 harboured compound heterozygous TGFBI p.(Tyr468*) and p.(Arg124His) mutations and showed more severe discoid granular deposits than his mother who harboured heterozygous TGFBI p.(Arg124His) mutation.
