MRCS syndrome is a rare, genetic retinal dystrophy disorder characterized by bilateral microcornea, rod-cone dystrophy, cataracts and posterior staphyloma, in the absence of other systemic features. Night blindness is typically the presenting manifestation and nystagmus, strabismus, astigmatism and angle closure glaucoma may be associated findings. Progressive visual acuity deterioration, due to pulverulent-like cataracts, results in poor vision ranging from no light perception to 20/400.

Hypotonia, growth and developmental delay, seizures, and joint limitation are also reported.	Associated morphology	False	Cataract	Inferred relationship	Some	4
MEDNIK-Syndrom	Associated morphology	False	Cataract	Inferred relationship	Some	1
A rare syndromic, genetic cataract characterized by the association of congenital cataract and microcornea without any other systemic anomaly or dysmorphism. Clinical findings include a decreased corneal diameter (inferior to 10 mm) in both meridians in an otherwise normal eye, and an inherited cataract, which is mostly bilateral posterior polar with opacification in the lens periphery that progresses to form a total cataract after visual maturity has been achieved. Association with other ocular manifestations, including myopia, iris coloboma, sclerocornea and Peters anomaly may be observed.	Associated morphology	False	Cataract	Inferred relationship	Some	2
Intellectual disability-cataracts-calcified pinnae-myopathy syndrome is a rare, genetic intellectual disability syndrome characterized by macrocephaly, hypotonia, dysmorphic facial features (wide forehead, ptosis, downslanting palpebral fissures, enlarged and calcified external ears, large jaw), sparse body hair, tall stature, and intellectual disability. Hearing loss, insulin-resistant diabetes, and progressive distal muscle wasting (leading to joint contractures) have also been reported in adulthood. Rare manifestations include behavioral abnormalities (aggression and restlessness), hypothyroidism, cerebral calcification, ataxia, and peripheral neuropathy.	Associated morphology	False	Cataract	Inferred relationship	Some	2
A rare, syndromic, genetic respiratory disease characterized by cataracts, otitis media, intestinal malabsorption, chronic respiratory infections, and failure to thrive. Recurrent pneumonia and progressive azotemia, leading to end-stage renal disease and early death, are additionally observed. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1992.	Associated morphology	False	Cataract	Inferred relationship	Some	2
Cataract-intellectual disability-anal atresia-urinary defects syndrome is characterized by congenital cataracts with squint, intellectual deficit, anomalies of the genitourinary tract (rectovesical fistula, micropenis, undescended testis, and hypospadias), imperforate anus and other anomalies.	Associated morphology	False	Cataract	Inferred relationship	Some	3
A very rare congenital limb malformation syndrome characterized by absence deformity of one leg, progressive scoliosis, short stature, and congenital cataract associated with dysplasia of the optic nerve. No intellectual deficit has been reported. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1968.	Associated morphology	False	Cataract	Inferred relationship	Some	1
