Description |
"Syndromes characterized by hamartomas of the skin, eye, central nervous system (CNS), and other viscera are collectivelycalled phacomatoses (1). These disorders produce significant visual and neurologic disturbances. Although most of these syndromes arise from mutations in single genes inherited in a Mendelian pattern, some have no apparent hereditarybasis. We discuss each of the syndromes considered in the categoryof neuro-ocular-cutaneous disorders." |
