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.

Research

Recurrent progressive anterior segment fibrosis syndrome following a descemet‑stripping endothelial keratoplasty in an infant with congenital aniridia
Postnatal manipulation of Pax6 dosage reverses congenital tissue malformation defects

Differential Diagnoses

Gillespie syndrome
Congenital nystagmus
Juvenile gluacoma
Congenital cataracts
Renal ultrasounds to detect tumors and anomalies of the kidneys indicative of WAGR syndrome
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) used to detect deletions in Wilm tumor genes
Genetic testing for deletions/mutations in chromosomes and genes specific to the condition

Causes

Mutations of AN1 and AN2 genes
Chromosomal deletion of p13 on chromosome 11
Mutation in PAX6 gene

Epidemiology

Equal in males and females
Diagnosis typically made at infant stage
Easier to diagnose at early stages in Caucasians
Cataracts may develop before 13 years of age
Glaucoma diagnosed between ages 11-20
No racial predisposition exists
1 in 60,000 people have this condition in the US
