In my recent article titled "Elucidating the Molecular Genetic Basis of the Corneal Dystrophies: Are We There Yet?"¹ that was published in the February 2007 issue of the Archives, I presented a review of the genes and chromosomal loci that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the corneal dystrophies, a revised framework for classifying the corneal dystrophies, and information regarding how molecular genetic analysis can be incorporated into everyday clinical practice. I should have brought to the readership's attention the International Committee for Classification of Corneal Dystrophies (IC3D), whose specific purpose is to devise a new, clinically relevant nomenclature system for the corneal dystrophies that accurately reflects our current knowledge based on genetic information. I have been a contributing member of this committee, which is supported by the Cornea Society, since it was founded in 2005. I did not mention the IC3D in my . . . [Full Text of this Article]
