Uveal coloboma-cleft lip and palate-intellectual disability is characterized by coloboma of the iris, bilateral cleft lip and palate, and intellectual deficiency of varying degree. A wide variability in clinical expression is observed. Some patients also present with microphthalmia, cataract, glaucoma, ptosis, sensorineural hearing loss and haematuria. To date, 12 cases have been described from three generations of a single family. Transmission is autosomal dominant.
Features include very common findings: Hearing loss (hearing impairment), Chorioretinal coloboma, and Inner ear hearing loss (sensorineural hearing impairment); and common findings: Cleft palate, Blood in the urine (hematuria), Microphthalmia, and Iris coloboma and others. 20 total HPO annotations.

YAP1 function has not been fully characterized.
Uveal coloboma-cleft lip and palate-intellectual disability is associated with mutations in the YAP1 gene on chromosome 11.
Genetic testing for YAP1 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
