Lowe syndrome
Background
Lowe syndrome: Oculo-Cerebro-Renal syndrome
Lowe syndrome was first described by Doctors Lowe, Terrey, and MacLachlan in 1952. It is a rare, inherited, progressive, metabolic disease affecting the eyes, brain and kidneys. Lowe syndrome affects boys of all ethnic groups. The majority of female carriers of the syndrome show the characteristic ophthalmic findings in the lens of each eye. The incidence of Lowe syndrome is thought to be a few per one hundred thousand births but currently there is no accurate data.
