Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To analyze the paired box gene 6 (PAX6) in Korean patients with congenital aniridia. METHODS: Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes of 22 aniridia patients in 18 unrelated families. Polymerase chain reaction was performed for all 14 exons of PAX6 followed by bidirectional sequencing. RESULTS: Fourteen different kinds of mutations were detected in 16 of 18 unrelated families (mutation...
