Anophthalmia megalocornea cardiopathy skeletal anomalies syndrome

Anophthalmia megalocornea cardiopathy skeletal anomalies syndrome is an extremely rare multi-systemic genetic disorder which is characterized by congenital ocular, muscular, and heart abnormalities. It was first described in the children of a consanguineous couple,[2] and it is thought to be autosomal recessive disorder with variable expressity.[3] No new cases have been described in medical literature since 1992.[4]
