Overview
Cross–McKusick–Breen syndrome (also known as "Cross syndrome," "Hypopigmentation and microphthalmia," and "Oculocerebral-hypopigmentation syndrome") is an extremely rare disorder characterized by skin, hair, eye and cerebral abnormalities.
Historical Perspective
It was characterized in 1967.[1] It is named for Harold Cross.[2][1]
Pathophysiology
Cross syndrome is assumed to be autosomal recessive in transmission. Molecular cytogenetics reveal de novo interstitial deletion of (3)(q27.1q29) of the paternal chromosome.
Diagnosis
