Aniridia
Aniridia is a rare congenital eye condition affecting approximately 1 in 60,000 people in the United States, with no gender or racial preference. It is usually diagnosed during infancy and is caused by mutations in the PAX6 gene, and sometimes by mutations in AN1 and AN2 genes or chromosomal deletions.
