Clinical feature
Label Limbal stem cell deficiency
Link http://www.orpha.net/ORDO/Orphanet_171673
Description A rare corneal disorder characterized by dysfunction and/or insufficient quantity of corneal limbal stem cells, leading to impaired self-renewal of the corneal epithelium and resulting in epithelial breakdown, corneal conjunctivalization and neovascularization, chronic inflammation, persistent epithelial defects, and scarring.
