Production and Limbal Lineage Commitment of Aniridia Patient-Derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
26 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
Congenital aniridia is caused by heterozygous mutations on the PAX6 gene leading to reduced amount of PAX6 protein (haploinsufficiency), abnormal eye development, and aniridia-associated keratopathy (AAK). This progressive corneal opacification resembles late-onset limbal stem cell (LSC) deficiency, leading to disrupted corneal epithelial renewal. The factors leading to AAK are not known and defects in native LSC...
