In some families autosomal dominant inheritance and point mutations in the TGFBI gene encoding keratoepithelin have been identified, but according to the International Committee for Classification of Corneal Diseases (IC3D) the available data still does not merit a confident inclusion of EBMD in the group of corneal<unk> es. In view of this, the more accurate designation of the disease is possibly not<unk>  but corneal degeneration. The main pathological feature of the disease is thickened, multilaminar and disfigured<unk><unk>  of corneal epithelium. The change in the structure affects the epithelium, some cells of which may become entrapped in the rugged<unk>  and fail to migrate to the surface where they should undergo desquamation.
