N2 - Purpose: To describe a case of microcephaly, unilateral retinal fold, and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR)–like phenotype in the context of 2 TUBGCP6 variants. Methods: A case and its findings were analyzed. Results: A 4-month-old boy with no family history of eye disease presented by referral for management of presumed persistent fetal vasculature in the left eye. An external examination showed microcephaly. The patient grimaced to light in both eyes, and the anterior segments were unremarkable. On dilated fundus examination, diffuse chorioretinal atrophy was present bilaterally. In the left eye, a retinal fold emanated from the optic nerve head. There was early termination of retinal vasculature, especially in zone 3 in the left eye, resembling a FEVR-like phenotype. Panel-based genetic testing was performed and found 2 mutations in TUBGCP6. Conclusions: Microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, and retinal folds may be associated with TUBGCP6 mutations and masquerade as PFV.
