Preferred Label : Microspherophakia and/or megalocornea, with ectopia lentis and with or without secondary
glaucoma;
Symbol : MSPKA;
CISMeF acronym : MSPKA;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Microspherophakia (MSP) is a rare disease characterized by smaller and more spherical
lenses than normal bilaterally, an increased anteroposterior thickness of the lens,
and highly myopic eyes. Lens dislocation or subluxation may occur, leading to defective
accommodation (summary by Ben Yahia et al., 2009). Microspherophakia may occur in
association with ectopia lentis and glaucoma, Marfan syndrome (MFS; 154700), and Weill-Marchesani
syndrome (WMS; 277600).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 2
gene (LTBP2, 602091.0005);
