Popis: Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy and severe brain and eye malformations. This study aims to analyze genotype-phenotype correlations in WWS with a novel cytidine diphosphate-l-ribitol pyrophosphorylase A (We report a girl with a presentation of multiple brain and ocular anomalies. Her ophthalmological evaluation showed a shallow anterior chamber, cortical cataract, iris hypoplasia, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous in the right eye, punctate cataract, iris hypoplasia, primary congenital glaucoma, and a widespread loss of fundus pigmentation in the left eye. She was hypotonic, and her deep tendon reflexes were absent. Laboratory investigations showed high serum levels of serum creatine kinase. Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated hydrocephalus, agenesis of the corpus callosum, retrocerebellar cyst, cerebellar dysplasia and hypoplasia, cobblestone lissencephaly, and hypoplastic brainstem. Whole exome sequencing revealed a novel homozygous nonsense mutation in the first exon of theThe study findings expand the phenotypic variability of the ocular manifestations in the
