Abstract excerpt
Lowe syndrome is a multisystem disorder characterized by anomalies of the eye, the nervous system, and the kidney. It is an uncommon, X-linked disease. Bilateral cataract and severe hypotonia are present at birth. Psychomotor retardation is evident in childhood, while renal complications arise in adolescence. The mutation of the gene OCRL1 localized at Xq26.1 is responsible for the disease. The authors report on...
