Abstract

We studied the clinical and histopathologic ocular findings in four related males with a newly recognized syndrome consisting of microphthalmos, microencephaly, mental retardation, agenesis of the corpus callosum, hypospadias, and cryptorchidism with X-linked recessive inheritance. The ocular abnormalities include microphthalmos, corneal pannus and hypoplasia, cataracts, uveal hypoplasia, retinal dysplasia, optic nerve hypoplasia, and congenital blepharoptosis. In case 4, a female twin who died in utero (at 15 weeks' gestation) showed none of the ocular abnormalities.
