Peters'-plus syndrome is a congenital disorder of glycosylation caused by a defect in the beta1,3-glucosyltransferase that modifies thrombospondin type 1 repeats.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic defects in glycosyltransferases are responsible for a number of developmental defects and diseases known as congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs). Peters'-plus syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, is now known to be a CDG. This syndrome is characterized by a specific malformation of the eye that includes corneal opaqueness and iridocorneal adhesions (Peters' anomaly). Affected individuals...
