Hereditary ectopia lentis. A series of 10 cases of ectopia lentis et pupillae.
Ectopia lentis may belong to different syndromes, Marfan syndrome and homocystinuria being the most common. Hereditary ectopia lentis may also be an isolated ocular condition. Inheritance of simple ectopia lentis is autosomal dominant (AD) or autosomal recessive (AR). In ectopia lentis et pupillae the pupils are characteristically oval and slit shaped. Inheritance is AR.
