ACG was present in 79.1% of patients. An analysis of ocular parameters from 68 eyes revealed that shorter axial length (AL), lower vitreous-to-AL ratios and severe foveal hypoplasia were associated with variants in <jats:italic>PRSS56<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>MFRP<\/jats:italic>. Uveal effusion was more common in patients with <jats:italic>PRSS56<\/jats:italic> variants, while retinitis pigmentosa was frequently observed in patients with <jats:italic>MFRP<\/jats:italic> variants. Patients with <jats:italic>MYRF<\/jats:italic> variants exhibited the thinnest retinal nerve fibre layer thickness. Patients with <jats:italic>TMEM98<\/jats:italic> variants had an earlier average onset age of glaucoma.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Variants in <jats:italic>PRSS56<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>MFRP<\/jats:italic> are the most common genetic cause of NNO.

Earlier onset of ACG is observed in patients with dominant NNO, while foveal hypoplasia is more common in patients with recessive disease. Recognising these features is helpful in clinical care and genetic counselling.<\/jats:p>\n
