From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vici syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder characterized by albinism, agenesis of the corpus callosum, cataracts, cardiomyopathy, severe psychomotor retardation, seizures, immunodeficiency, and recurrent severe infections.[1]
Vici syndrome has an autosomal recessive pattern of
inheritance.
[edit] Eponym
Vici syndrome was first described by Carlo Dionisi-Vici et al. (Rome, Italy) in an article from 1988 about two brothers with a previously unreported disorder.[1] Since then, a few articles have reported the same disorder, which subsequently obtained the name Vici syndrome.[2][3]
