On 23 August 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Fuchs's dystrophy. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Removed apparently irrelevant anecdote

As a newcomer to this page, I thought I would explain my removal. As raised at WikiProject medicine, the bit about botulinum toxin appeared to be irrelevant (since spasm is not otherwise mentioned in the article); in addition, the wording ("anecdotally") suggested it was original research and it lacked reliable sourcing. Removed. -- Scray (talk) 21:54, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Bayes' theorem which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 17:01, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Different forms or different stages?

Greetings,

In the little "Genes include" chart, I find:

Type-----OMIM----Gene-------Locus
______________________________________
FECD1--136800--COL8A2---1p34.3-p32.3
FECD4--610206--SLC4A11--20p13-p12
FECD6--189909--ZEB1-------10p11.2

Since the article states that there are 4 stages of the condition, not 6, I presume that there are at least 6 different types of FECD. However, I do not see that in the article. Please clarify.

Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 20:34, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Still no explanation of the '4 stages' of the disease nor of the 3 types named in the gene chart, FECD1, FECD4, and FECD6. Does anybody have access to ophthalmology texts and journals? I looked through PubMed, but unfortunately, I do not understand all the Ophthalmology jargon. B^( Thanks again, 2603:7000:D202:6D25:D968:DD7B:76BE:99A6 (talk) 13:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
