VISS syndrome (vascular aneurysm, immune dysregulation, skeletal anomalies, and skin and joint laxity) is a syndromic connective tissue disorder caused by bi-allelic mutations in IPO8. Importin 8, encoded by IPO8, is a ubiquitously expressed member of the importin-beta protein family that translocates cargo molecules. It has been suggested that the cargoes of importin 8 include TGF-beta signaling components such as SMAD.
