Patient-derived cornea organoid model to study metabolomic characterization of rare disease: aniridia-associated keratopathy

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Aniridia is a rare panocular disease caused by gene mutation in the PAX6, which is essential for eye development. Aniridia is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, but its phenotype can vary significantly among individuals with the same mutation. Animal models, such as drosophila, zebrafish, and rodents, have been used to study aniridia through Pax6 deletions. Recently, patient-derived limbal...
