Variable ocular anomalies have been observed, including microphthalmia and coloboma as well as delayed visual maturation. Neurodevelopmental anomalies are also present, including global developmental delay and autism or autistic traits, with prominent perivascular spaces on brain imaging (Harris et al., 2024).
