Presentation
In this case report, we present a patient with phenotypic features of Gillespie’s syndrome with a homozygous variant in the ITPR1 gene that has not previously been reported. [tandfonline.com]
The numbered bands specify the location of the thousands of genes that are present on each chromosome. [rarediseases.org]
Strabismus and ptosis are often present. There may also be retinal hypopigmentation. Cataract, glaucoma, and corneal opacities are not present. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Reference article, Radiopaedia.org (Accessed on 29 Mar 2023) https://doi.org/10.53347/rID-65142 Gillespie syndrome is a rare genetic condition presenting as a mydriasis, secondary to an omnipresent partial aniridia. [radiopaedia.org]
It is heterogeneous, inherited in either an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive manner.[4] Gillespie syndrome was first described by American ophthalmologist Fredrick Gillespie in 1965.[1][3] Presentation[edit] The combination of muscular hypotonia [en.wikipedia.org]
Respiratoric
- Delayed Speech Development
This abnormality can cause delayed development of motor skills such as walking. In addition, difficulty controlling the muscles in the mouth can lead to delayed speech development. [rarediseases.oscar.ncsu.edu]

Eyes
- Blurred Vision
In addition, they may exhibit droopy eyelids (ptosis); inward deviation of one eye (esotropia), resulting in double vision (diplopia); and/or farsightedness (hypermetropia), causing blurred vision, eye strain, and/or difficulty in viewing close objects [rarediseases.org]
Neurologic
- Nystagmus
Rapid, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) can also occur in Gillespie syndrome. The balance and movement problems in Gillespie syndrome result from underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of a part of the brain called the cerebellum. [rarediseases.oscar.ncsu.edu]
On examination, she had dysarthria, nystagmus and ataxia. Ophthalmological evaluation showed absence of part of the iris or aniridia (Figure 1) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pointed mild cerebellar atrophy. [scielo.br]
If involuntary movements of the eye (nystagmus) occur in association with aniridia, the ophthalmologist will record eye movements to determine the exact type of nystagmus present. [rarediseases.org]
Rapid, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) can also occur in Gillespie syndrome. The balance and movement problems in Gillespie syndrome result from hypoplasia of the cerebellum, which is the part of the brain that coordinates movement. [medlineplus.gov]
[…] dysplasia.[7] Atypical Gillespie syndrome associated with bilateral ptosis, exotropia, correctopia, iris hypoplasia, anterior capsular lens opacities, foveal hypoplasia, retinal vascular tortuosity, and retinal hypopigmentation.[8] Neurological signs are nystagmus [en.wikipedia.org]
- Global Developmental Delay
A 23-year-old woman presented with global developmental delay and non-progressive ataxia since birth. Parents were consanguineous. On examination, she had dysarthria, nystagmus and ataxia. [scielo.br]
- Cerebellar Disease
Neurological examination revealed an ataxic gait, hypotonia, dysdiadochokinesia, intention tremor, horizontal nystagmus and dysarthria, all consistent with cerebellar disease. No pyramidal or extrapyramidal signs were identified. [bmcpediatr.biomedcentral.com]
- Fixed Pupils
The iris may be relatively intact but immobile leading to the description in some patients of "dilated and fixed pupils", or congenital mydriasis. The pupillary margin may be scalloped with iris strands to the lens. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
- Involuntary Movements
In many cases, people with aniridia may also exhibit repeated, involuntary movements of the eye (nystagmus). [rarediseases.org]

Prognosis
Once suspected, targeted genetic testing will confirm the diagnosis and enable counseling regarding prognosis and risk of the disease in other family members. [bmcpediatr.biomedcentral.com]
