Patients with CLDN19 mutations frequently display severe ocular abnormalities (myopia, pigmentary retinitis, macular coloboma, strabismus, astigmatism, nystagmus, macular scars, macular degeneration, anisocoria, retinochoroiditis) [50,51,57,58,68], contrasting with milder and rarer ocular abnormalities reported with CLDN16 mutations (strabismus, myopia, astigmatism, hypermetropia) [45]. This evidence concerns the gene CLDN16 and myopia.
