MAF encodes a transcription factor involved in T-helper-2 (Th2) cell differentiation. Heterozygous pathogenic variants in MAF have been observed in both isolated and syndromic congenital cataract cases; genotype–phenotype correlations are based on the location of the variant within the gene. Variants in the N-terminus domain of MAF are associated with cataracts as part of Aymé-Gripp syndrome. The purpose of this report is to expand the ocular phenotypic spectrum of Aymé-Gripp syndrome by describing a patient with MAF variant c.185C>G, p.Thr62Arg, and the traditional systemic findings and congenital cataracts as well as an unusual feature of pigmentary retinopathy, which has not been previously reported in Aymé-Gripp syndrome. Additionally, a comprehensive review of the literature was completed to report ocular genotype–phenotype data on previously reported patients with MAF-associated Aymé-Gripp syndrome.
