Behr syndrome

Behr syndrome results in a spectrum of optic and neurological complications for both sexes.

Behr syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder named after Carl Behr, who first described it in 1909.

Behr syndrome is autosomal recessive, which means the defective gene is located on an autosome, and two copies of the gene - one inherited from each parent - are required to be born with the disorder.
