We described visual profile, neuromotor development and neurological examination, cognitive profile, communication and language skills and behavioral characteristics. The GPR143 gene analysis was performed as well.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Children presented a variable combination of ocular and oculomotor disorders unchanged during the follow-up, a deficit in visual acuity and in contrast sensitivity that progressively improved. Abnormalities in pattern visual evoked potential were found. No deficits were detected at neurological examination and neuromotor development except for a mild impairment in hand-eye coordination observed in five cases. A language delay was observed in five cases, two of whom had also a developmental quotient delay at 2 years evolving to a borderline\/deficit cognitive level at preschool age, difficulties in adaptive behavior and autistic-like features were found. Mutations in the GPR143 gene were identified in the two patients who presented the most severe clinical phenotype.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Children with OA may share, in addition to a variable combination of ocular signs and symptoms, a neurodevelopment impairment regarding mostly the cognitive, communicative, and social area, especially those with GPR143 mutation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1732430","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,30]],"date-time":"2021-07-30T05:13:07Z","timestamp":1627621987000},"page":"007-014","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Neurodevelopmental
