The Axenfeld syndrome and the Rieger syndrome.
A family is reported in which both the syndrome of Axenfeld and the eye malformations of the syndrome of Rieger occur, indicating that both may be expressions of the same gene.

The syndrome is characterised by complete penetrance but variable expressivity. The ocular component of the ARS phenotype has acquired most clinical attention and has been dissected into a spectrum of developmental eye disorders, of which open-angle glaucoma r...

Though a wide spectrum of additional malformations is found, they form no recognisable pattern and so their association is considered to be accidental (Alkemade, 1969). The Axenfeld syndrome consists of two of the three major eye malformations found in the R...
