Molecular analysis of the PAX6 gene in Mexican patients with congenital aniridia: report of four novel mutations.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Paired box gene 6 (PAX6) heterozygous mutations are well known to cause congenital non-syndromic aniridia. These mutations produce primarily protein truncations and have been identified in approximately 40%-80% of all aniridia cases worldwide. In Mexico, there is only one previous report describing three intragenic deletions in five cases. In this study, we further analyze PAX6 variants in a group of...
