The OMIM database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim/) currently contains four familial CFEOM phenotypes: CFEOM1-3, which map to the FEOM1-3 loci (MIM 135600, 602078, 604361), respectively, and congenital fibrosis of the vertically acting extraocular muscles (MIM 60063), reported in a single family without a corresponding genotype. We have had the opportunity to study the reported family with this fourth phenotype and now demonstrate that their phenotype can be reclassified as CFEOM3 and that it maps to FEOM3, flanked by D16S498 to 16qter, with a maximum lod score of 6.0. © Springer-Verlag 2002.
