Regular checkups with an ophthalmologist will help to identify any existing or developing eye conditions. Glaucoma is a serious and potentially blinding condition and early detection by an ophthalmologist is important.
If glaucoma develops, medication or surgery may be required to help lower the intraocular pressure in the eye.
Patients with a mutation in the PITX2 gene may require dental implants to replace any teeth that have not developed normally. Children should have their growth closely monitored as issues with the pituitary gland may result in slow growth. Medication can be prescribed to support the body’s growth if required.
Patients with a mutation in the FOXC1 gene should be evaluated for heart or hearing defects. If neurological symptoms are present, a brain MRI should be considered.
