Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To describe the ophthalmic findings and mutation analyses of the PAX6 gene in Thai aniridia patients. METHODS: Ten patients from six unrelated families underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination. Mutations in the PAX6 gene were screened by single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and direct DNA sequencing of the SSCP variants. RESULTS: Seven patients developed cataracts and six developed...
