Isolated congenital ectopia lentis with autosomal dominant inheritance

Clin Genet. 1979 Jan;15(1):97-109. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1979.tb02033.x.

Abstract

Although autosomal dominant inheritance of isolated ectopia lentis has been described, the literature contains old and unclear reports concerning the evaluation of skeletal or metabolic abnormalities. We report a family in which congenital isolated ectopia lentis occurs in five members of two generations in a pattern consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance.
