Congenital muscular dystrophy-infantile cataract-hypogonadism syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy, infantile-onset cataract, and hypogonadism. Males usually develop Klinefelter syndrome while females develop agenesis of the ovaries.[2] It has been described in eight individuals of which seven came from Finnmark County, Norway.[3][4][5] Inheritance pattern is thought to be autosomal recessive.[6]
