Abstract

Aymé‐Gripp Syndrome (AGS) is an ultra‐rare syndrome characterized by peculiar facial traits combined with early bilateral cataracts, sensorineural hearing loss, and variable neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Only a few cases carrying a pathogenic variant in MAF have been described to date. A significant effort is then required to expand the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of this condition. In this paper, we report the peculiar case of a 6‐year‐old girl carrying a de novo missense pathogenic variant in MAF, being the first case reported to show a milder phenotype with no cataracts and deafness displayed. Furthermore, we performed a systematic review of previously published cases, focusing on clinical manifestation and genotype. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
