Mirhosseini–Holmes–Walton syndrome is a syndrome which involves retinal degeneration, cataract, microcephaly, and mental retardation. It was first characterized in 1972.[1][2]
The gene or genes involved have not yet been determined. There is some evidence that this syndrome has the same genetic cause as Cohen syndrome.[3]
