Table 1.

Clinical details of families 1 and 2, and the previously published family (De Vries et al). Given the initial uncertainty about the pathogenicity of the variant, cardiologic and/or ophthalmologic evaluation was also performed in several individuals without the variant in family 1 (patient III:3, III:6 and V:1)
