[Genetics of congenital aniridia].

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mutations in the PAX6 gene mostly cause non-syndromic aniridia with autosomal dominant inheritance and familial occurrence. The underlying point mutations and deletions in the PAX6 locus cause loss-of-function of one gene copy (haploinsufficiency). Mutations with residual PAX6 function often result in milder disease expression but may also cause distinct and more severe ocular phenotypes. Combined...
