A neuroocular syndrome caused by a mutation in PRR12 gene. It encompasses a broad spectrum of overlapping anomalies, with developmental delay or impaired intellectual development as a consistent finding. Eye abnormalities show marked variability in the type and severity of defects, and include anophthalmia, microphthalmia, and coloboma. Other common systemic features include congenital heart and kidney defects, hypotonia, failure to thrive, and microcephaly.
Features include always present findings: Intellectual disability, Stellate iris, Motor delay, and Exotropia and others; and common findings: Prominent fingertip pads, Short stature, Tibial torsion, and Deep palmar crease and others. 73 total HPO annotations.

PRR12 function has not been fully characterized.
Neuroocular syndrome 1 is associated with mutations in the PRR12 gene on chromosome 19.
Genetic testing for PRR12 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
