Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Peters Plus syndrome (MIM 261540) is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterized by ocular defects (typically Peters anomaly) and other systemic major/minor abnormalities. Mutations in the B3GALTL gene encoding the β-1,3-glucosyltransferase have been found in virtually all patients with typical Peters Plus syndrome.
METHODS: We report here a female patient with severe manifestations of Peters Plus syndrome including facial dysmorphism and bilateral corneal opacity associated with left renal pyelo-calicial dilatation and sexual ambiguity. Total sequencing of the B3GALTL gene revealed no mutation in the patient.
CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, sexual ambiguity has not previously been reported in Peters Plus syndrome so far, and renal malformation is also apparently rare in the syndrome.
