1884 Ectopia lentis-chorioretinal dystrophy-myopia syndrome

definition

Ectopia lentis-chorioretinal dystrophy-myopia syndrome is characterised by anomalies of the lens (ectopia and cataracts) and retina (generalized tapetoretinal dystrophy and total retinal detachment). Myopia has also been reported. It has been described in four members of the same family, all resulting from a consanguineous marriage. The mode of transmission is autosomal recessive.
