Aicardi Syndrome

Aicardi syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that causes defects of the eyes and brain. Aicardi syndrome is an x-linked dominant condition primarily found in females. Males with the disease die before birth. This is also called Agenesis of Corpus Callosum with Corioretinal Abnormality. It’s called this due to the abnormal formation of the connection between the right and left hemisphere of the brain(corpus callosum), and development of the choroids and retinal sections of the eye.
