Congenital Stem Cell Deficiency

  • Chapter
Ocular Surface Disease Medical and Surgical Management

Conclusion

A number of disorders have so far been identified that appear to have associated congenital limbal stem cell functional deficiency. As our ability to readily identify stem cells improves, it is likely that other disorders will be recognized and our specific understanding of congenital stem cell dysfunction will increase. Hopefully, this will lead to more specific treatments that will allow better management of these presently difficult conditions.
