Progressive bilateral nuclear cataracts associated with cerebellar-facial-dental syndrome: case report, literature review, and identification of a new genetic variant.

Abstract excerpt

Cerebellar-facial-dental syndrome (CFDS) is a newly described autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by mutations in the BRF1 gene. CFDS is clinically associated with dysmorphic facial features and cerebellar hypoplasia. We report visually significant progressive bilateral nuclear cataracts in a child with CFDS and identify a new causative genetic variant.
