Lowe Syndrome is a developmental disorder characterized by eye, kidney, and neurological pathologies, and is caused by mutations in the phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphatase OCRL. OCRL plays diverse roles in endocytic and endolysosomal trafficking, cytokinesis, and ciliogenesis, but it is unclear which of these cellular functions underlie specific patient symptoms. Here, we show that mutation of Drosophila OCRL causes cell-autonomous activation of hemocytes, which are macrophage-like cells of the innate immune system.

We report a pair of siblings who exhibit findings similar to those described in Heimler's syndrome, namely sensori- neural hearing loss diagnosed after the first year of life and enamel hypoplasia with normal primary dentition. Nail findings of Beau's lines and leukonychia which were described in the previous cases are absent to questionable in our patients. Our findings support the theory of autosomal recessive inheritance for Heimler's syndrome.

The intervention was based on Heimler's Human Social Functioning theory and method. A single-system design was used to analyze change due to intervention, and two instruments were used to collect data across the phases.
