Description : The microphthalmia with linear skin defects syndrome (MLS) is an X-linked dominant
disorder characterized by unilateral or bilateral microphthalmia and linear skin defects--which
are limited to the face and neck, consisting of areas of aplastic skin that heal with
age to form hyperpigmented areas--in affected females and in utero lethality for males
(Wimplinger et al., 2006). A similar form of congenital linear skin defects, also
limited to the face and neck and associated with microcephaly, facial dysmorphism,
and other congenital anomalies (300887) is caused by mutation in the COX7B gene (300885)
on chromosome Xq21.;
Inheritance : X-linked dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the holocytochrome C synthase gene (HCCS, 300056.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Distal Xp22.3 segmental monosomy;
Prefixed ID : #309801;
