Purpose

Lowe syndrome is a rare, X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the OCRL gene. It involves multiple anatomic systems, particularly the eyes, central nervous system, and kidneys, and leads to profound growth failure and global developmental delay. This study evaluated the clinical and genetic characteristics of Korean patients with Lowe syndrome.

Methods

The clinical findings and results of genetic studies were...

Oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe(OCRL) is a rare X-linked disorder characterized by congenital cataract(oculo-), hypotonia, developmental delay, cognitive impairment(cerebro-), renal tubular dysfunction(renal), and growth retardation. Recently, the defective gene, OCRL-1 gene encoding [PtdIns(4,5)P2] 5-phosphatase, was cloned with mutations identified in patients. Although there have been about 200 cases of OCRL reported in English literature, only three reports have been published in...
