Normal function

Dysfunction and disease

Vici syndrome [MIM:242840]. Biallelic mutations in EPG5 cause Vici syndrome. This is a rare congenital multisystem disorder characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC), cataracts, pigmentary defects, progressive cardiomyopathy, and variable immunodeficiency. Affected individuals also have profound psychomotor retardation and hypotonia due to a myopathy (summary by Finocchi et al., 2012). [Load More]
