Description : Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder of morphogenesis that results in abnormal development of the anterior segment of the eye, and results in blindness from glaucoma in approximately 50% of affected individuals (Fitch and Kaback, 1978). Systemic anomalies have also been associated, including dental hypoplasia, failure of involution of periumbilical skin, and maxillary hypoplasia (Alkemade, 1969). See 109120 for a form of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome associated with partially absent eye muscles, hydrocephalus, and skeletal abnormalities. Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly has also been observed in some patients with small vessel disease of the brain, see 607595. A closely related ocular disorder, iridogoniodysgenesis, can also be caused by mutation in the FOXC1 and PITX2 genes; see IRID1 (601631) and;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the paired-like homeodomain transcription factor-2 gene (PITX2, 601542.0001);

Prefixed ID : #180500;
