-
Syndrome with characteristics of macroaneurysms of retina which may rupture causing bleeding and loss of vision, in association with supravalvular pulmonic stenosis. The disease is caused by a mutation in the IGFBP7 (insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7) gene which is active in the vascular endothelium. The IGFBP7 gene mutation results in an abnormally short IGFBP7 protein that does not function properly.
