Microphthalmia, anophthalmia and coloboma (MAC) comprise a highly heterogeneous spectrum of congenital ocular malformations with an estimated incidence of 1 in 5000 to 1 in 30 000 live births. Although there is likely to be a genetic component in the majority of cases, many remain without a molecular diagnosis. Netrin-1 was previously identified as a mediator of optic fissure closure from transcriptome analyses of chick and zebrafish and was shown to cause ocular coloboma when knocked out in both mouse and zebrafish.

Article Synopsis
  • The article discusses a rare genetic abnormality involving deletions on chromosome 11, specifically between the 11q13 and 11q23 regions, which can lead to various clinical features including intellectual disabilities and malformations, though these do not consistently correlate with specific genetic patterns.* -
  • The case study focuses on a 9-year-old boy exhibiting Sprengel's deformity, iris and chorioretinal coloboma, and mild motor development delay, identified to have a significant interstitial deletion on chromosome 11 through advanced genetic testing methods.* -
  • The findings emphasize the variability in symptoms associated with 11q deletions and suggest that the observed deformities might not have a direct genetic link but rather could be

Introduction: Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a ciliopathy causing developmental defects and progressive retinal dystrophy, whereas choroidal coloboma is a developmental defect causing structural deficiency in the posterior retina. Both are rarely reported together.

Methods: Here, we describe the phenotype and genotype of three unrelated patients with co-occurrence of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome and chorioretinal coloboma and review the pertinent literature.
