“…Homozygous XYLT2 mutations lead to spondylo-ocular syndrome, which is associated with short stature, retinal detachment, amblyopia, nystagmus, hearing loss, heart valve defects, bone fragility and mild learning difficulties [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. To date, 24 patients from 13 different families have been described harboring this syndrome [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ].
