“…Simple ectopia lentis (Bresgen, 1879 ;Usher, 1924;Yanes, 1930;Falls & Cotterman, 1943;Clapp, 1944;Chace, 1945;McGavic, 1966;McKusick, 1972;Jaureguy & Hall, 1979) is an autosomal dominant trait characterized by congenital bilateral lens displacement frequently associated with persistent pupillary membrane, glaucoma, cataracts, and rryopia. Some pedigrees, like those reported by Meyer (1954) and Harshman (1948) probably represent different conditions mainly due to the late onset of symptoms.…”

All three sibs from normal and unrelated parents had congenital ectopia lentis without extraocular abnormalities. This pedigree suggests an autosomal recessive form of simple ectopia lentis.The aim of this report is to describe three sibs affected with ectopia lentis without corectopia, suggesting an autosomal recessive form of simple ectopia lentis. CASE REPORTSCase A. The three-year-old propositus was the product of an uncomplicated eight-month twin pregnancy and delivery by cesarean section. Birthweight was 2500 g. Tremulous irides have been present since birth. His psychomotor development and somatometric measurements (weight, W : 17.9 kg, height, H : 98 cm, arm span, AS: 98 cm, lower segment, LS: 43 cm, and cephalic circumference, CC: 49 cm) were within normal limits. The hair was blond and the eyes green. Ophthalmological examination revealed central fixation in the right eye and eccentric in the left. Normal corneas, central pupils, and wide anterior chambers were found. Irides were tremulous and showed remnants of the pupillary membrane con-
