Additional Information:

Diagnosis GeneReviews The clinical signs observed in microphthalmia with linear skin defects (MLS) syndrome are considered major if they are present in at least 80% of affected individuals and minor if they are less frequent. ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Microphthalmia with linear skin defects (MLS) syndrome is characterized by unilateral or bilateral microphthalmia or anophthalmia (see Figure 2) and jagged skin defects on the face and neck (see Figure 3). MLS syndrome is usually lethal in males. ...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Goltz syndrome, also known as focal dermal hypoplasia, is characterized by distinctive skin findings (dermal hypoplasia) and ophthalmologic manifestations similar to those observed in microphthalmia with linear skin defects (MLS) syndrome. However, limb and skeletal malformations that are common in Goltz syndrome are rarely seen in MLS syndrome. Goltz syndrome is caused by deletions and point mutations of PORCN; thus, MLS syndrome and focal dermal hypoplasia are not allelic, as had been previously proposed. Inheritance is X-linked with male lethality. ...
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with microphthalmia with linear skin lesions (MLS) syndrome, the following evaluations are recommended:...
