  • Title: Ophthalmologic abnormalities in Mowat-Wilson syndrome and a mutation in ZEB2.
    Author: Ariss M, Natan K, Friedman N, Traboulsi EI.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Genet; 2012 Sep; 33(3):159-60. PubMed ID: 22486326.
    Abstract:
    Mowat-Wilson syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by a distinct facial appearance, moderate-to-severe mental retardation, microcephaly, agenesis of the corpus callosum, Hirschsprung disease, congenital heart disease, and genital anomalies. Ophthalmological abnormalities have been rarely described in patients with this condition which is caused by mutations in the ZEB2 gene. We report a 9-year-old female with this syndrome who has severe ocular abnormalities including bilateral microphthalmia, cataract, and retinal aplasia.
