Information:
Lenz microphthalmia syndrome (LMS) is characterized by unilateral or bilateral microphthalmia and/or clinical anophthalmia with malformations of the ears, teeth, fingers, skeleton, and/or genitourinary system. This condition is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. Mutations in at least two genes on the X chromosome are thought to be responsible for Lenz microphthalmia syndrome. Only one of these genes, BCOR, has been identified. BCOR mutation p.Pro85Leu, the only mutation found, thus far, in the only two individuals with LMS with mutation identified to date. Targeted mutational screening or whole gene sequencing can be performed.
