Corneal haze and elevated measured intraocular pressure in a young child with iris abnormalities are suggestive for glaucoma, but primary corneal disease is another possibility. We highlight the case of a 10-year-old boy with these clinical signs who was initially treated for glaucoma but in fact had congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, iris colobomas, and no glaucoma.

Ptosis is defined as an abnormally low-lying upper eyelid margin on the primary gaze, generally resulting from a congenital or acquired abnormality of the nerves or muscles that control the eyelid. Ptosis can occur alone or concurrently as an ocular or systemic syndrome, and the prevalence of ptosis varies among different countries and populations. Isolated ptosis typically causes aesthetic problems in patients and can lead to functional ophthalmic problems in severe cases.

Hearing loss can profoundly impact an individual's quality of life, affecting communication, social interactions, and overall well-being. Many people with hearing impairment report feelings of isolation, frustration, and decreased confidence in social settings, which can lead to withdrawal from activities they once enjoyed. Genetics plays a significant role in congenital hearing loss, accounting for approximately half of all cases.

Broad-spectrum genetic tests often lead to the identification of variants of uncertain significance (VUS), a major issue in modern clinical genetics. A fair proportion of VUS may alter the splicing processes, but their interpretation is challenging. This study aimed at providing a classification approach for VUS potentially-affecting splicing by integrating transcript analysis from peripheral blood mRNA into routine diagnostics.
