Jalili syndrome (JS) (MIM#217080) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the comorbid appearance of cone–rod dystrophy (CORD) and amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). JS is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by different mutations, all with a linkage at achromatopsia locus 2 q11 on the metal transporter gene CNNM4. The case report presented here describes JS with distinct phenotypic variations such as situs inversus totalis (SIT) along with additional ophthalmic findings such as keratoconus and ectopia lentis. It is the first case of JS reported from the Indian subcontinent, affecting a male patient of Muslim faith from an area having high fluoride levels in the ground water. A positive history of consanguineous marriage among his family members of past generations was also evident.
