Novel compound heterozygous EPG5 mutations consisted with a missense mutation and a microduplication in the exon 1 region identified in a Japanese patient with Vici syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Vici syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive, multisystem disorder, characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum, cataracts, psychomotor delay, cardiomyopathy, hypopigmentation, and recurrent infections.

A 3-year-old Japanese girl manifesting similar symptoms...
