Overview

Osteoporosis — oculocutaneous — hypopigmentation syndrome (OOCHS) is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by osteoporosis, and reduced eye and skin pigmentation.^[1]

This syndrome can be differentiated from other similar syndromes such as Cross syndrome and Preus syndrome by the absence of cerebral abnormality and presence of osteoporosis.
