Multiple opaque spots in the corneal epitheliumICD-9 371.51 OMIM 122100 DiseasesDB 31962 MeSH D053559 Meesmann juvenile epithelial corneal dystrophy (MECD, sometimes also Stocker-Holt dystrophy) is a keratin disease.
It is named for Alois Meesmann.[1][2]
It is sometimes called "Meesmann-Wilke syndrome", after the joint contribution of Meesmann and Wilke.[1][3]
It has been associated with KRT3 and KRT12.[4]
