Background: The oculo-facio-cardio-dental syndrome (OFCD) is an ultra-rare multiple congenital anomaly. This report describes clinical findings emphasising dental phenotype in five, molecularly confirmed, female cases from two Czech families.
Case Presentation: Dental examinations were carried out.

Purpose: To report a case of oculo-facio-cardio-dental (OFCD) syndrome secondary to a novel variant in a pediatric patient with congenital cataracts, microphthalmia, persistent fetal vasculature (PFV), focal chorioretinal hyperpigmentation, peripheral retinal avascularity, and foveal photoreceptor atrophy.
Observations: A 3-month-old female patient was referred for bilateral congenital cataracts with microphthalmia. Her past medical history was significant for syndactyly of the toes, left bifid rib, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, mitral regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension, anemia of prematurity, vesicoureteral reflux, and duodenal atresia.

Objectives: Oculo-facio-cardio-dental (OFCD) syndrome is a rare X-linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the BCL6 co-repressor (BCOR) and is mainly characterized by radiculomegaly (elongated dental roots). All BCOR mutations reported to date have been associated with premature termination codons, indicating that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) might play a vital role in the pathogenesis of OFCD syndrome. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying NMD remain unclear.
