title: Facio-oculo-acoustico-renal (FOAR) syndrome: case report and review.
abstract: We report on an 11-year-old boy with distinct facial anomalies, iris coloboma, iris hypoplasia, cataract, high myopia, retinal detachment, moderate sensorineural hearing loss, and proteinuria. He appears to have the facio-oculo-acoustico-renal (FOAR) syndrome, a rare familial disorder reported only 4 times previously. In contrast to the other patients, he has normal intellect.
