Abstract excerpt
Lowe oculocerebrorenal syndrome (OCRL) (MIM 309000) is a rare X-linked multisystem disorder characterized by congenital cataracts, muscular hypotonia, areflexia, mental retardation, maladaptive behavior, renal tubular dysfunction, vitamin-D-resistant rickets, and scoliosis. The underlying gene OCRL1 is located on chromosome Xq25-q26 and contains 24 exons. It encodes a 105-kDa phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate...
