Renal dysplasia and retinal aplasia

Senior-Loken syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease with the main features of nephronophthisis (NPHP; see 256100) and Leber congenital amaurosis (see 204000). Mutations in some of the same genes that cause nephronophthisis (see 256100) cause Senior-Loken syndrome. Genetic Heterogeneity of Senior-Loken Syndrome Other forms of SLSN include SLSN4 (606996), caused by mutation in the NPHP4 gene (607215) on chromosome 1p36; SLSN5 (609254), caused by mutation in the NPHP5 gene (IQCB1; 609237) on chromosome 3q13; SLSN6 (610189), caused by mutation in the NPHP6 gene (CEP290; 610142) on chromosome 12q21; SLSN7 (613615), caused by mutation in the SDCCAG8 gene (613524) on chromosome 1q43; SLSN8 (616307), caused by mutation in the WDR19 gene (608151) on chromosome 4p14; and SLSN9 (616629), caused by mutation in the TRAF3IP1 gene (607380) on chromosome 2q37. Another form of SLSN, SLSN3 (606995), has been mapped to a locus on chromosome 3q22, overlapping the NPHP3 locus (604387).
