Mirhosseini–Holmes–Walton syndrome

Mirhosseini–Holmes–Walton syndrome is a syndrome which involves retinal degeneration, cataract, microcephaly, and mental retardation. It was first characterized in 1972.[1][2] There is evidence that this syndrome has a different mutation in the same gene as Cohen syndrome.[3][4]
