title: Ocular manifestations of chromosome 14 terminal deletion.
abstract: A boy with chromosome 14 terminal (14q32.3) deletion presented with typical facial dysmorphism, mental retardation, and hypotonia. Ocular examination revealed esotropia, jerk nystagmus, microcornea, and retinal-choroidal colobomas. We report the first case of microcorneas and colobomas in association with chromosome 14 terminal deletion to help further define this clinical syndrome.
