Patients presented with the characteristic clinical manifestations of the two syndromes, including postnatal microcephaly, congenital cataracts, microphthalmia, optic atrophy, spasticity and intellectual disability. Brain imaging showed in the majority of cases polymicrogyria, thin corpus callosum, cortical atrophy, and white matter dysmyelination. Unusual additional findings were pectus excavatum (four patients), pectus carinatum (three patients), congenital heart disease (three patients) and bilateral calcification in basal ganglia (one patient). Mutational analysis of\n                    <jats:italic>RAB3GAP1<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>RAB3GAP2<\/jats:italic>\n                    revealed 21 mutations, including 14 novel variants.\n                    <jats:italic>RAB3GAP1<\/jats:italic>\n                    mutations were identified in 22 patients with Micro, including a deletion of the entire gene in one patient. On the other hand,\n                    <jats:italic>RAB3GAP2<\/jats:italic>\n                    mutations were identified in two patients with Micro and all Martsolf patients.
