Screening of a large PAX6 cohort identified many novel variants and emphasises the importance of the paired and homeobox domains.

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic variants within PAX6 are most often associated with aniridia, but have been linked with other phenotypes such as nystagmus, cataracts and foveal hypoplasia. Data are presented from a large cohort of 434 probands referred for PAX6 diagnostic testing. This analysis identified a wide range of pathogenic variants (n = 145) in 254 probands (including 61 novel variants). Excluding missense variants predicted...
