Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Aniridia II; AN; AN2;

Included titles and symbols : Cataract, congenital, with late-onset corneal dystrophy;

Description : Although called aniridia, this disorder is a panocular one taking its name from the noticeable iris hypoplasia seen in most cases. This feature can range from a readily visible, almost complete absence of the iris, through enlargement and irregularity of the pupil mimicking a coloboma, to small slit-like defects in the anterior layer seen only on transillumination with a slit-lamp. The effect on vision is similarly variable (Jordan et al., 1992). See also Gillespie syndrome (206700), in which aniridia is associated with cerebellar ataxia and mental retardation.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the paired box gene 6 gene (PAX6, 607108.0001);
