Description : Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) encompasses several different
inherited strabismus syndromes characterized by congenital restrictive ophthalmoplegia
affecting extraocular muscles innervated by the oculomotor and/or trochlear nerves.
Classic CFEOM is characterized by bilateral blepharoptosis and ophthalmoplegia with
the eyes fixed in an infraducted position about 20 to 30 degrees below the horizontal
midline. Involvement of the horizontal extraocular muscles is variable. If all affected
members of a family have the classic phenotype with bilateral involvement, the disorder
is referred to as 'CFEOM1' (Engle et al., 1997; Heidary et al., 2008).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the kinesin family member 21A gene (KIF21A, 608283.0001);
Prefixed ID : #135700;
