Rieger's syndrome with pericentric inversion of chromosome 6.

M H Heinemann, R Breg, E Cotlier
PMCID: PMC1043384  PMID: 760775

Abstract

Pericentric inversion of chromosome 6 (6p+q-) was found in a girl with Rieger's syndrome and in her father. The only ocular signs in the father were prominent iris mounds and Schwalbe's line. The association of chromosomal anomalies with Rieger's syndrome indicates the need for a chromosome banding test in familial or sporadic patients with the syndrome and in patients with mild anomalies of the anterior chamber angle.
