Deletion at 14q22‐23 indicates a contiguous gene syndrome comprising anophthalmia, pituitary hypoplasia, and ear anomalies

Abstract excerpt

Anophthalmia and pituitary gland hypoplasia are both debilitating conditions where the underlying genetic defect is unknown in the majority of cases. We identified a patient with bilateral anophthalmia and absence of the optic nerves, chiasm and tracts, as well as pituitary gland hypoplasia and ear anomalies with a de novo apparently balanced chromosomal translocation, 46,XY,t(3;14)(q28;q23.2).
