Microphthalmia–dermal aplasia–sclerocornea syndrome

Microphthalmia–dermal aplasia–sclerocornea syndrome is a condition characterized by linear skin lesions.[1][2] MLS is a rare X-linked dominant male-lethal disease characterized by unilateral or bilateral microphthalmia and linear skin defects in affected females, and in utero lethality for affected males.[3] It can be associated with HCCS,[4] but mutations in the MCCS gene cause microphthalmia with Linear Skin Defects Syndrome.[5]
