A sex-linked recessive disorder of amino acid transport which affects the EYE; NERVOUS SYSTEM; and KIDNEY. Clinical manifestations include CATARACT; GLAUCOMA; developmental delay (which eventually leads to profound cognitive deficits); myopathy; peripheral neuropathy; and hypotonia. There is an associated generalized aminoaciduria of the FANCONI SYNDROME type; renal tubular acidosis (ADIDOSIS, RENAL TUBULAR); and hypophosphatemic RICKETS. This condition has been associated with deficient activity of the enzyme phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-5-phosphatase.
