Alternative titles and symbols : Microphthalmia and esophageal atresia syndrome; Anophthalmia, clinical, with associated anomalies; Anophthalmia-esophageal-genital syndrome; Aeg syndrome;
Included titles and symbols : Optic nerve hypoplasia and abnormalities of the central nervous system;
Description : Syndromic microphthalmia-3 (MCOPS3) is characterized by clinical anophthalmia or microphthalmia
with or without defects of the optic nerve, optic chiasm, and optic tract. Extraocular
abnormalities include brain anomalies, seizures, motor disability, neurocognitive
delays, sensorineural hearing loss, and esophageal atresia. Hypoplasia of the anterior
pituitary is another major complication, which frequently results in growth hormone
deficiency; however, gonadotropin deficiency is likely to be the most consistent endocrinopathy
in patients with SOX2 mutation (summary by Numakura et al., 2010).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2 gene (SOX2, 184427.0001);
