Mutation in the PAX6 gene in twenty patients with aniridia.

Abstract excerpt

This is a report on the nature of the mutations in the PAX6 gene in twenty patients with aniridia. Five of the twenty patients had sporadic aniridia with deletions in chromosome 11p13. Three of the five had WAGR syndrome (Wilms tumor, aniridia, genitourinary anomalies, mental retardation), and the other two had deletions whose breakpoints occurred between the PAX6 and the WT1 genes. Allelic losses at PAX6 were of...
