Clinical features of syndromic microphthalmia in two novel RARB variants
摘要
Here we describe unrelated Japanese patients with distinct novel heterozygous retinoic acid receptor beta (RARB) gene variants underlying syndromic microphthalmia-12: case 1 with a frameshift variant, c.1205_1206del, had bilateral microphthalmia, corneal opacity, anterior segment dysgenesis, widespread multiorgan anomalies, hypotonia and cognitive impairment; case 2 with a missense variant, c.844G>T had Peters anomaly, extreme microphthalmia, spasticity, profound psychomotor delay and refractory epilepsy. These findings highlight the need for RARB testing.
