Corneal Epithelial Dystrophy Short Stature syndrome.
++
Two cases reported in
the literature; autosomal recessive.

Features include skin tumors, short stature,
corneal opacity (caused by corneal dermoids), and pupillary anomalies. The
condition is distinct from other corneal dermoids by its inheritance mode.
