The "cat eye" syndrome is uncommon and is characterized by iridal and choroidal coloboma (giving the appearance of cat eyes), anal atresia, and genitourinary and auricular anomalies. There is usually an associated chromosomal abnormality characterized by an extra, small, acrocentric fragment. 1, record 1, English, - cat%20eye%20syndrome

Le syndrome de l'œil de chat évoque chez le porteur d'un petit chromosome surnuméraire un ensemble polymalformatif pouvant comporter cliniquement un colobone irien, une atrésie anale, des appendices ou fistules préauriculaires. 1, record 1, French, - syndrome%20des%20yeux%20de%20chat
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le syndrome de l'œil de chat se présente comme une affection dominante. Bien que l'on puisse invoquer une non-disjonction plus fréquente en rapport avec les masses d'hétérochromatine et leurs facilités d'échange, le chromosome surnuméraire se comporte en univalent et migre au hasard vers l'un des pôles cellulaires avec une probabilité de 50%. 1, record 1, French, - syndrome%20des%20yeux%20de%20chat
