    This study describes a rare oculocerebral hypopigmentation syndrome in siblings, characterized by growth and psychomotor retardation, neurological issues, and anemia. Parental consanguinity suggests an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern for this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Oculocerebral hypopigmentation syndromes are rare genetic disorders.
    • Understanding their inheritance patterns is crucial for genetic counseling and diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A family presented with multiple siblings affected by a syndrome featuring growth retardation, dolichocephaly, cataracts, dental anomalies, generalized hypopigmentation, psychomotor retardation, progressive neurological decline, and hypochromic anemia.
    • Clinical features suggest a distinct oculocerebral hypopigmentation disorder.

    Findings:

    • The presence of parental consanguinity strongly supports an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance for this syndrome.
    • The described syndrome shares similarities with the previously reported Cross syndrome.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the spectrum of oculocerebral hypopigmentation syndromes.
    • Identifying this specific syndrome aids in accurate diagnosis and understanding of genetic neurological disorders.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific gene(s) responsible and the underlying molecular mechanisms.
