Microdeletion of chromosome 7P syndrome ocular manifestations

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 1995 Jun;11(2):139-41. doi: 10.1097/00002341-199506000-00012.

Abstract

Several syndromes have been associated with microdeletions of the autosomes. These syndromes are diverse in their morphology and frequently manifest abnormalities of the ocular adnexa. A child with an uncommon microdeletion of the short arm of chromosome 7P presented initially with congenital myogenic ptosis. After multiple systemic abnormalities were found during a routine examination, the child was referred for genetic evaluation where the defects were incidentally found. The child responded well with a fascia lata frontalis sling. The genetic disorder is discussed with an emphasis on the ophthalmologic findings.
