Heinz Jungbluth and colleagues report the identification of mutations in EPG5 that cause Vici syndrome, characterized by callosal agenesis, cataracts, cardiomyopathy, combined immunodeficiency and hypopigmentation. EPG5 encodes a regulator of autophagy, and the identified mutations cause defective autophagosomal function.
