Kaufman Oculocerebrofacial Syndrome
Oculocerebrofacial Syndrome, Kaufman Type
Presentation
- Other anomalies can be present: long thin hands and feet, ambiguous genitalia, hypertelorism, etc. An autosomal recessive mode of inheritance seems most likely.[orpha.net]

Prognosis
- Diagnosis and Prognosis: The diagnosis may be suspected at birth by a pediatrician but because of the widespread congenital anomalies it may require collaboration with neurologists, ophthalmologists, orthopedists, and geneticists.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
- Prognosis Currently, there is no correlation between the genotype and phenotypes, so clinical severity of disease cannot be correlated with certain variants.[emedicine.medscape.com]
- It is associated with a poor visual prognosis.[findzebra.com]
Etiology
- The etiology remains unknown to date.[unboundmedicine.com]
- The etiology remains unknown: all genes evaluated in affected patients were normal.[findzebra.com]
