• Microcephaly with chorioretinopathy, autosomal recessive

From UniProt:

Microcephaly and chorioretinopathy, autosomal recessive, 1 (MCCRP1): A syndrome characterized by microcephaly, cognitive impairment, underdeveloped retina and choroid, and epilepsy in some patients. The more anterior parts of the retina, near the periphery and pars plana, have a grayish hue and diminutive vasculature similar to retinopathy of prematurity. Visual impairment becomes evident during the first year of life. [MIM:251270]
