Mondo Description Pierson syndrome is characterised by the association of congenital nephrotic syndrome and ocular anomalies with microcoria.
Uniprot Description Characterized by nephrotic syndrome with neonatal onset, diffuse mesangial sclerosis and eye abnormalities with microcoria as the leading clinical feature.

Disease severity depends on the mutation type: nontruncating LAMB2 mutations may display variable phenotypes ranging from a milder variant of Pierson syndrome to isolated congenital nephrotic syndrome.
