Description: (OMIM) |
Brittle cornea syndrome (BCS) is characterized by blue sclerae, corneal rupture after minor trauma, keratoconus or keratoglobus, hyperelasticity of the skin, and hypermobility of the joints (Al-Hussain et al., 2004). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Brittle Cornea ... |
Clinical Description OMIM |
Stein et al. (1968) reported brittle cornea associated with blue sclera in 2 Tunisian Jewish brothers with consanguineous parents, indicating autosomal recessive inheritance. Hyams et al. (1969) reported an affected Tunisian Jewish boy who may have been related ... |
Molecular genetics OMIM |
Abu et al. (2008) analyzed the candidate gene ZNF469 in 4 Tunisian Jewish families, one of which was the family originally reported by Ticho et al. (1980), and 1 Palestinian family with brittle cornea syndrome-1 and identified homozygosity ... |
