Abstract

Congenital cataracts, facial dysmorphism, and neuropathy syndrome is a delineated genetic disease exclusively manifested in the Roma population. The pattern of inheritance is autosomal recessive, and a causative mutation is evident in the CTDP1 gene. Affected patients display congenital cataracts, microcornea, peripheral neuropathy, mild facial dysmorphism, hypogonadism, and psychomotor delay. We present the second case of this syndrome in a Greek Roma family, diagnosed in early infancy, along with the prenatal diagnosis in a subsequent pregnancy.
