Knobloch syndrome 1

Knobloch syndrome 1 is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the collagen gene COL18A1. The clinical picture includes various eye abnormalities, such as high myopia, cataracts, dislocated lens, vitreoretinal degeneration, and retinal detachment. Also found can be occipital skull defects.
