septo optic dysplasia

A rare autosomal recessive condition (OMIM:182230) characterised by optic nerve hypoplasia, absence of the corpus callosum, and hypoplasia of the pituitary gland with panhypopopituitarism.

Molecular pathology
Defects in HESX1, a DNA-binding transcription factor required for the normal development of the forebrain, eyes and other anterior structures, cause septo optic dysplasia.
