The oculo-cerebro-renal syndrome of Lowe (OCRL) is a rare X-chromosomal disorder characterised by the triad of congenital cataracts, renal tubular dysfunction, and mental retardation. Typically complete opacification and discoid deformation of the lenses are seen, indicating a developmental defect in early embryogenesis. We report on a 35-year-old patient with a mild Lowe syndrome phenotype including incomplete lenticular opacities. Clinical findings suggest that the gene product of the mutated allele (IVS19 + 1G > A) identified in the patient exhibits some residual function.
