title: Autosomal recessive colobomatous microphthalmia.
abstract: Colobomatous microphthalmia was studied in multiple relatives of 5 families. In these families, the disorder was an autosomal recessive trait as opposed to the usual autosomal dominant form of the disorder. A relatively high incidence of this recessive allele is found in the Iranian Jewish community.
