Peters-plus syndrome

Congenital Malformations and Chromosomal Abnormalities

Peters-plus syndrome, also known as Krause-Kivlin syndrome, is a hereditary syndrome defined by Peters' anomaly, dwarfism and intellectual disability. The syndrome is therefore defined by a combination of three features, an eye condition named Peters' anomaly together with short stature and intellectual disability, and because it is hereditary it is passed through families. It is known by two names, Peters-plus syndrome and Krause-Kivlin syndrome. The lead of its English Wikipedia article gives only this definition, so further detail on its genetics and clinical features is left to later depth work.
