Understanding Ocular Coloboma (OCM2)

Description

Ocular coloboma (OCM2) is a rare, congenital birth defect that affects the eye. It occurs when there is a failure in the closure of the embryonic fissure during eye development, leading to a cleft or gap in the structures of the eye. OCM2 can range from a small, isolated defect to a large, complex condition that affects multiple parts of the eye.

Associated Diseases

OCM2 can be associated with a variety of other genetic conditions and syndromes, including:

• CHARGE syndrome
• DiGeorge syndrome
• Stickler syndrome
• Goldenhar syndrome
• Treacher Collins syndrome
• Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome
