The presence of an increased number of twists and turns of the retinal arterioles. [from HPO]

Aortic valve disease-3 (AOVD3) is characterized by aortic stenosis and/or bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), associated in some patients with aneurysm of the aortic root and/or ascending aorta. Atrial septal defect (ASD) has also been observed in some individuals (Gould et al., 2019). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of aortic valve disease, see AOVD1 (109730). [from OMIM]

Polymicrogyria with or without vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder with a highly variable phenotype. Although all patients have polymicrogyria and other variable structural brain anomalies on imaging, only some show developmental delay and/or seizures. Similarly, only some patients have connective tissue defects that particularly affect the vascular system and can result in early death (summary by Vandervore et al., 2017). [from OMIM]

ALPK1-related autoinflammatory disease (ALPK1-AD) is characterized by clinical findings that can include intraocular inflammation, retinal degeneration, recurrent fever, deforming arthritis, and headaches. Anhidrosis/hypohidrosis, dental caries, short dental roots, and hyposalivation are common. While most adults have ophthalmologic manifestations, vision loss is not universal. Although significant intrafamilial variability can occur, most individuals with ALPK1-AD exhibit at least one clinical or laboratory feature (such as episodic low-grade fever or episodic elevation of serum markers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein). To date, 41 individuals from 19 families with a pathogenic variant in ALPK1 have been described. [from GeneReviews]

SHRF is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by short stature, brachydactyly, dysmorphic facial features, hearing loss, and visual impairment. Onset of the hearing and visual abnormalities, including retinitis pigmentosa, varies from birth to the second decade. Patients have mild intellectual disability and mild cerebellar atrophy with myelination defects on brain imaging (summary by Di Donato et al., 2016). [from OMIM]

This syndrome has characteristics of osteogenesis imperfecta, wormian bones, optic atrophy, retinopathy, seizures and severe developmental delay. It has been described in two siblings born to consanguineous parents. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a non-invasive retinal imaging modality used in clinical practice to provide a density map of lipofuscin, the predominant ocular fluorophore, in the retinal pigment epithelium. Autofluorescent patterns result from the complex interaction of fluorophores such a lipofuscin, which release an autofluorescent signal, and elements such as melanin and rhodopsin, which absorb the excitation beam and attenuate autofluorescence. Other structures such as retinal vessels and the crystalline lens may also influence autofluorescence through blocking and interference. [from HPO]

An abnormality of the iris, which is the pigmented muscular tissue between the cornea and the lens, that is perforated by an opening called the pupil. [from HPO]

Any structural abnormality of the fundus of the eye. [from HPO]

A structural anomaly of the globe of the eye, or bulbus oculi. [from HPO]

A lacy pattern or iris pigmentation that resembles the spokes of a bicycle wheel. [from HPO]

Intellectual developmental disorder with microcephaly and with or without ocular malformations or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IDDMOH) is characterized by mildly impaired intellectual development and microcephaly. Patients may also have ocular malformations, ocular apraxia, or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The disorder shows a unique DNA methylation signature (summary by Al-Jawahiri et al., 2022). [from OMIM]

Intellectual disability, previously referred to as mental retardation, is characterized by subnormal intellectual functioning that occurs during the developmental period. It is defined by an IQ score below 70. [from HPO]

Nephrotic syndrome type 5 (NPHS5) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by very early onset of progressive renal failure manifest as proteinuria with consecutive edema starting in utero or within the first 3 months of life. A subset of patients may develop mild ocular anomalies, such as myopia, nystagmus, and strabismus (summary by Hasselbacher et al., 2006). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of nephrotic syndrome, see NPHS1 (256300). [from OMIM]
