Warburg micro syndrome

Warburg micro syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder that mainly affects the eyes, brain, and reproductive system. People with this condition often experience severe intellectual disability and have abnormal development of the head and brain, which can include a smaller than normal head (microcephaly) and problems with the brain structure, such as partial or complete absence of the corpus callosum. In addition to the neurodevelopmental challenges, affected individuals usually have eye abnormalities such as congenital cataract, microcornea, and microphthalmia. The condition also involves hypogenitalism, meaning that the development of the genital organs is limited. This collection of features makes Warburg micro syndrome a complex condition that impacts several areas of development.

Common symptoms of Warburg micro syndrome include severe intellectual disability, a small head size (microcephaly), and eye issues like congenital cataract, microcornea, and microphthalmia. People with this condition may also have brain development issues, such as underdevelopment or absence of the corpus callosum, as well as hypogenitalism.

Warburg micro syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder, which means that a person needs to inherit two copies of the gene mutation, one from each parent, for the condition to occur. Genetic factors play a key role in this condition, though specific genes involved are not detailed in the provided information.
