Identification and characterization of the VAX2 p.Leu139Arg variant: possible involvement of VAX2 in cone dystrophy.

abstract：:When encountering patients with markedly dilated and tortuous retinal vessels, Wyburn-Mason syndrome (WMS) or racemous angiomatosis (phacomatosis) is commonly thought of as the archetypal entity that can produce these findings. We describe a patient with Cantu syndrome with phenotypical findings identical to those see...
