Novel < em > CHRDL1 < /em > mutation causing X-linked megalocornea in a family with mild anterior segment manifestations in carrier females
CONCLUSIONS: Here, we report an additional XMC family due to a novel mutation in the CHRDL1 gene. Mild anterior segment anomalies were observed in two heterozygous carriers demonstrating for the first time a CHRDL1-linked phenotype in females. A detailed comparison of the clinical and genetic features of this pedigree with those observed in previously published XMC cases is also presented.PMID:34844512 | DOI:10.1080/13816810.2021.2002917
