'''Megalocornea''' (MGCN, MGCN1) is an extremely rare nonprogressive condition in which the [[cornea]] has an enlarged [[diameter]], reaching and exceeding 13 mm. It is noted in some patients with [[Marfan syndrome]]. It is thought to have two subforms, one with autosomal inheritance and the other X-linked (Xq21.3-q22). The X-linked form is more commons and males generally constitute 90% of cases.
