Abstract

Wieacker-Wolff syndrome is an X-linked condition caused by variants of the ZC4H2 gene that results in in utero muscular weakness that manifests clinically as arthrogryposis congenita as well as facial and bulbar weakness. We report the case of a young girl with a de novo pathogenic deletion in the ZC4H2 gene and clinical features consistent with Wieacker-Wolff syndrome. Common eye manifestations of the syndrome reported in the literature include ptosis, strabismus, and oculomotor apraxia. The overall incidence of these manifestations is 56%.
