Knobloch syndrome-1 (KNO1) is an autosomal recessive developmental disorder primarily characterized by typical eye abnormalities, including high myopia, cataracts, dislocated lens, vitreoretinal degeneration, and retinal detachment, with occipital skull defects, which can range from occipital encephalocele to occult cutis aplasia (summary by Aldahmesh et al., 2011).
Genetic Heterogeneity of Knobloch Syndrome
KNO2 (618458) is caused by mutation in the PAK2 gene (605022) on chromosome 3q29. [from OMIM]
