Abstract
Background: Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM1) is classically a congenital, non-progressive, restrictive strabismus syndrome characterized by bilateral ptosis and ophthalmoplegia with an infraducted position of the globes. This autosomal dominant syndrome is caused by mutations in the KIF21A gene.
