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);
