Symbol LCCH
Location 3q25
Name low copper and ceruloplasmin with congenital cataracts and hearing loss
Corresponding gene SLC33A1
Main clinical features
  • congenital cataracts, hearing loss, severe developmental delay, and cerebellar hypoplasia and is associated with low serum copper and ceruloplasmin
  • cortical and cerebellar hypoplasia and hypomyelination
  • Genetic determination autosomal recessive
    Function/system disorder ear
    eye
    Type disease
    Remark(s)
  • mutation severely impair the function of SLC33A1 by leading to a shortened or absent protein
  • treatment with copper did not result in an increase in copper or ceruloplasmin levels in serum (PMID: 22243965))
