Microphthalmia, Lenz type

Lenz microphthalmia syndrome is a very rare X-linked inherited form of syndromic microphthalmia (see this term) characterized by unilateral or bilateral microphthalmia (and/or clinical anophthalmia) with or without coloboma in addition to a range of extraocular manifestations such as microcephaly, malformed ears, dental abnormalities (i.e. irregular shape of incisors), skeletal anomalies (duplicated thumbs, syndactyly, clinodactyly, camptodactyly (see these terms)), urogenital anomalies (hypospadias, cryptorchidism, renal dysgenesis, hydroureter) and mild to severe intellectual disability. It is allelic to two disorders: oculofaciocardiodental syndrome and premature aging appearance-developmental delay-cardiac arrhythmia syndrome (see these terms).

Cataract

A cataract is an opacity or clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its capsule.

Am J Med Genet A. 2004;128A(3):232-4.
The differential diagnosis includes cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal syndrome (COFS); a syndrome involving cataract, arthrogryposis, microcephaly, and kyphoscoliosis (CAMAK); a syndrome with cataract, microcephaly, failure to thrive, and kyphoscoliosis (CAMFAK); Martsolf syndrome; Neu-Laxova syndrome; Lenz microphthalmia syndrome; and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome.

Lenz microphthalmia syndrome: three additional cases with rare associated anomalies.
Temtamy SA, Ismail SI, Meguid NA.
Genet Couns. 2000;11(2):147-52.
Here we present three cases of Lenz microphthalmia with additional manifestations: two brothers of first cousin mating, the elder one has bilateral congenital cataract which is a rare ophthalmological finding in this syndrome and a third case who presented to us because of ambiguous genitalia.
