Granular corneal dystrophy type I (also corneal dystrophy Groenouw type I) is a rare form of human corneal dystrophy. It is caused by mutations in TGFBI gene encoding keratoepithelin.
It was first described by German ophthalmologist Arthur Groenouw in 1890, with expanded accounts in the following years.[1][2][3]
