SpecialtyMedical genetics 

Cornea plana 2 (CNA2) is a congenital disorder that causes the cornea to flatten and the angle between the sclera and cornea to shrink. This could result in the early development of arcus lipoides, hazy corneal limbus, and hyperopia. There is evidence that cornea plana 2 is caused by mutations in KERA gene encoding keratocan. Cornea plana 2 is an autosomal recessive disorder.
