Corneal dystrophy of Bowman layer, type II (CDB2), or, more commonly, Thiel-Behnke dystrophy (TBCD), is a rare form of human corneal dystrophy affecting the layer that supports corneal epithelium. Some cases of it are linked to chromosome 10q24, others stem from a mutation in the TGFBI gene.
The dystrophy was first described in 1967[1] and initially suspected to denote the same entity as the earlier-described Reis-Bucklers dystrophy, but following a study in 1995 by Kuchle et al. the two look-alike dystrophies were deemed separate disorders.[2]
