Nanophthalmos patient with a THR518MET mutation in MYRF, a case report.

Nanophthalmos may present at an early age with features of angle closure glaucoma and a Thr518Met mutation in MYRF was detected in a patient with nanophthalmos. Prevalence data, homology data, mutation analysis data, and protein modeling data suggest that this variant is pathogenic and may expand the phenotypic range of syndromic nanophthalmos caused by MYRF mutations to include central nervous system abnormalities (increased posterior fossa cerebrospinal fluid).
