Autosomal recessive isolated ectopia lentis is a rare hereditary disorder which is characterized by ectopia lentis (that is; a condition that displaces the position of the eye's lens) [2] that is present in both eyes with no other significant abnormalities. [3] It is caused by mutations in the ADAMTSL4 gene, located in chromosome 1. These mutations are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [4] [5]

According to OMIM, [6] approximately 62 cases from 10 to 20 families in the Middle East, Western Asia, and Europe have been described in medical literature.

Although no other ocular abnormalities are present in isolated ectopia lentis, the EL itself can lead to other ocular complications directly or indirectly related to it, such as myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia, cataract, glaucoma, and retinal detachment, which may lead to visual impairment (difficulties with vision) or even total blindness.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic disorder of the eyes that causes loss of vision. Symptoms include trouble seeing at night and decreasing peripheral vision. As peripheral vision worsens, people may experience "tunnel vision". Complete blindness is uncommon. Onset of symptoms is generally gradual and often begins in childhood.

X-linked recessive inheritance is a mode of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to be always expressed in males and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation, see zygosity. Females with one copy of the mutated gene are carriers.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cystinosis</span> Lysosomal storage disease

Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cystine, the oxidized dimer of the amino acid cysteine. It is a genetic disorder that follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. It is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from accumulation of free cystine in lysosomes, eventually leading to intracellular crystal formation throughout the body. Cystinosis is the most common cause of Fanconi syndrome in the pediatric age group. Fanconi syndrome occurs when the function of cells in renal tubules is impaired, leading to abnormal amounts of carbohydrates and amino acids in the urine, excessive urination, and low blood levels of potassium and phosphates.

Walker–Warburg syndrome (WWS), also called Warburg syndrome, Chemke syndrome, HARD syndrome, Pagon syndrome, cerebroocular dysgenesis (COD) or cerebroocular dysplasia-muscular dystrophy syndrome (COD-MD), is a rare form of autosomal recessive congenital muscular dystrophy. It is associated with brain and eye abnormalities. This condition has a worldwide distribution. Walker-Warburg syndrome is estimated to affect 1 in 60,500 newborns worldwide.

Ectopia lentis is a displacement or malposition of the eye's lens from its normal location. A partial dislocation of a lens is termed lens subluxation or subluxated lens; a complete dislocation of a lens is termed lens luxation or luxated lens.

Congenital muscular dystrophies are autosomal recessively-inherited muscle diseases. They are a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by muscle weakness which is present at birth and the different changes on muscle biopsy that ranges from myopathic to overtly dystrophic due to the age at which the biopsy takes place.

Acromicric dysplasia is an extremely rare inherited disorder characterized by abnormally short hands and feet, growth retardation and delayed bone maturation leading to short stature. Most cases have occurred randomly for no apparent reason (sporadically). However, autosomal dominant inheritance has not been ruled out.

Macular hypoplasia is a rare medical condition involving the underdevelopment of the macula, a small area on the retina responsible for seeing in detail and sensing light. Macular hypoplasia is often associated with albinism.

Zamzam–Sheriff–Phillips syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder. It is characterized by aniridia, ectopia lentis, abnormal upper incisors and intellectual disability. Not a lot of research has been undertaken of this particular disease so thus far there is no known gene that affects this condition. However it has been hypothesised that the symptoms described are found at a particular gene, though intellectual disability is believed to be due to a different genetic cause.

Weill–Marchesani syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature; an unusually short, broad head (brachycephaly) and other facial abnormalities; hand defects, including unusually short fingers (brachydactyly); and distinctive eye (ocular) abnormalities. It was named after ophthalmologists Georges Weill (1866–1952) and Oswald Marchesani (1900–1952) who first described it in 1932 and 1939, respectively.

Blepharoptosis-myopia-ectopia lentis syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder which is characterized by congenital bilateral blepharoptosis, presence of ectopia lentis, and severe near-sightedness (myopia). It affects the relative strength of the levator aponeurosis, the zonules, and the sclera. It was first discovered during the mid-late winter of 1982, when W N Gillum et al. described the case of a 72-year-old woman and 2 of her also affected daughters with the symptoms mentioned above, one of the daughters had unusually long globes and abnormally high upper eyelid creases. Levator function was unaffected. The symptoms of the 72-year-old woman were thought to be caused by a sporadic genetic mutation, which was subsequently transmitted to her daughters in an autosomal dominant fashion. No new cases have been reported since then
