Novel PAX6 mutation reported in an aniridia patient.


ABSTRACT: An aniridia patient was found to have a novel PAX6 mutation. A genetic duplication within PAX6, which caused a frameshift mutation, ultimately created a nonsense stop codon and premature truncation of the protein. Consequently, the patient presented with a clouded cornea as a result of partial limbal stem cell deficiency, foveal hypoplasia, nystagmus and a pale, cupped optic disc caused by glaucoma.
