Mutational analysis of PAX6: 16 novel mutations including 5 missense mutations with a mild aniridia phenotype. (1/104)

Mutations in the developmental control gene PAX6 have been shown to be the genetic cause of aniridia, which is a severe panocular eye disease characterised by iris hypoplasia. The inheritance is autosomal dominant with high penetrance but variable expressivity. Here we describe a mutational analysis of 27 Danish patients using a dideoxy fingerprinting method, which identified PAX6 mutations in 18 individuals with aniridia. A thorough phenotype description was made for the 18 patients. A total of 19 mutations, of which 16 were novel, are described. Among these were five missense mutations which tended to be associated with a milder aniridia phenotype, and in fact one of them seemed to be non-penetrant. Four of the five missense mutations were located in the paired domain. We also describe a third alternative spliced PAX6 isoform in which two of the four missense mutations would be spliced out. Our observations support the concept of dosage effects of PAX6 mutations as well as presenting evidence for variable expressivity and gonadal mosaicism.  (+info)

Goniosurgery for prevention of aniridic glaucoma. (2/104)

PURPOSE: We conducted a retrospective study to report the long-term success and complications of modified goniosurgery to prevent aniridic glaucoma, an entity that typically is difficult to control medically or surgically. METHODS: Fifty-five eyes in 33 patients who had aniridia without glaucoma and who had goniosurgery were identified. Ninety-one procedures were performed on 55 eyes by 1 surgeon (D.S.W.). Each eye had an average of 1.65 procedures and an average of 200 degrees of goniosurgery. Average patient age at time of initial goniosurgery was 37 months. There were no operative complications. RESULTS: No eye had a decrease in visual acuity at last follow-up. All eyes had a preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) of less than 21 mm Hg. At last follow-up (average, 9 years 6 months; range, 8 months to 24 years), 49 eyes (89%) had IOP of less than 22 mm Hg without medications. The remaining 6 eyes (11%) had IOP of less than or equal to 22 mm Hg with up to 2 eye drops. Of 224 aniridic eyes of 112 patients that were seen for eye care by 1 of the authors (D.S.W.), 119 eyes (53%) demonstrated glaucoma, as defined by IOP of greater than 21 mm Hg. CONCLUSIONS: Without prophylactic goniotomy, aniridic glaucoma may be expected in half of patients, and when it occurs, it is extremely difficult to control. Prophylactic goniosurgery in selected eyes of young patients with aniridia is effective in preventing aniridic glaucoma.  (+info)

The horse homolog of congenital aniridia conforms to codominant inheritance. (3/104)

Anterior segment dysgenesis syndrome occurs frequently in Rocky Mountain horses and has two distinct ocular phenotypes: (1) large cysts originating from the temporal ciliary body or peripheral retina and (2) multiple anterior segment anomalies including ciliary cysts, iris hypoplasia, iridocorneal adhesions and opacification, nuclear cataract, and megalocornea. To determine if anterior segment dysgenesis syndrome is heritable in horses we performed ophthalmic examinations and collected pedigree information on horses (n = 516) in an extended Rocky Mountain horse pedigree. Logistic regressive segregation analysis of a subset of animals (n = 337) in which the ocular phenotypes of progeny and both parents were known indicated that the codominant inheritance model best fit the data. This model predicted cyst phenotype expression in heterozygous animals and multiple anterior segment anomalies in homozygous animals. Several cases of nonpenetrance of the cyst phenotype were detected in one lineage. The close resemblance between the inheritance and lesions observed in Small eye mice and rats, humans with congenital aniridia or anterior segment malformation, and horses with anterior segment dysgenesis syndrome supported the conclusion that anterior segment dysgenesis syndrome in the horse may be homologous to similar ophthalmic anomalies in other species.  (+info)

3' deletions cause aniridia by preventing PAX6 gene expression. (4/104)

Aniridia is a panocular human eye malformation caused by heterozygous null mutations within PAX6, a paired-box transcription factor, or cytogenetic deletions of chromosome 11p13 that encompass PAX6. Chromosomal rearrangements also have been described that disrupt 11p13 but spare the PAX6 transcription unit in two families with aniridia. These presumably cause a loss of gene expression, by removing positive cis regulatory elements or juxtaposing negative DNA sequences. We report two submicroscopic de novo deletions of 11p13 that cause aniridia but are located >11 kb from the 3' end of PAX6. The clinical manifestations are indistinguishable from cases with chain-terminating mutations in the coding region. Using human x mouse retinoblastoma somatic cell hybrids, we show that PAX6 is transcribed only from the normal allele but not from the deleted chromosome 11 homolog. Our findings suggest that remote 3' regulatory elements are required for initiation of PAX6 expression.  (+info)

Missense mutation at the C-terminus of PAX6 negatively modulates homeodomain function. (5/104)

PAX6 is essential for ocular morphogenesis. Mutations in the PAX6 gene produce various phenotypes, including aniridia, Peters' anomaly, foveal hypoplasia, autosomal dominant keratitis and congenital cataracts. PAX6 functions as a transcription factor and has two DNA binding domains (a paired domain and a homeodomain) which are joined by a linker, and a transactivation domain enriched in proline, serine and threonine (PST) at the C-terminus. The mechanism of PAX6 function is not clearly understood, and few target genes in vertebrates have been identified. We examined disease-causing missense mutations in the PST domain to understand how they affect the function of PAX6. Upon examining the DNA samples of aniridia patients, we identified three missense mutations in the PST domain: P375Q (a novel mutation) and the previously reported Q422R and X423L mutations. On the basis of functional analysis, the P375Q mutant appears to have a normal transactivation activity but lower DNA binding through the paired domain than the wild-type. The Q422R mutation resulted in the loss of DNA binding ability of the PAX6 homeodomain. Substitution analyses of the C-terminal amino acid (codon 422) indicated that an amino acid at codon 422 is required for DNA binding of the homeodomain of intact PAX6 and that the polarity and charge of the side-chain of the terminal amino acid influence this binding.  (+info)

Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins and anterior segment dysgenesis of the eye: a report of a new association and review of the literature. (6/104)

The association of alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACD-MPV) and ocular abnormalities has not been previously reported. We present a case of ACD-MPV and anterior segment dysgenesis of the eye in a full-term infant as well as a review of the relevant literature.  (+info)

Aniridia-associated translocations, DNase hypersensitivity, sequence comparison and transgenic analysis redefine the functional domain of PAX6. (7/104)

The transcription factor PAX6 plays a critical, evolutionarily conserved role in eye, brain and olfactory development. Homozygous loss of PAX6 function affects all expressing tissues and is neonatally lethal; heterozygous null mutations cause aniridia in humans and the Small eye (Sey) phenotype in mice. Several upstream and intragenic PAX6 control elements have been defined, generally through transgenesis. However, aniridia cases with chromosomal rearrangements far downstream of an intact PAX6 gene suggested a requirement for additional cis-acting control for correct gene expression. The likely location of such elements is pinpointed through YAC transgenic studies. A 420 kb yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clone, extending well beyond the most distant patient breakpoint, was previously shown to rescue homozygous Small eye lethality and correct the heterozygous eye phenotype. We now show that a 310 kb YAC clone, terminating just 5' of the breakpoint, fails to influence the Sey phenotypes. Using evolutionary sequence comparison, DNaseI hypersensitivity analysis and transgenic reporter studies, we have identified a region, >150 kb distal to the major PAX6 promoter P1, containing regulatory elements. Components of this downstream regulatory region drive reporter expression in distinct partial PAX6 patterns, indicating that the functional PAX6 gene domain extends far beyond the transcription unit.  (+info)

PAX6 mutation as a genetic factor common to aniridia and glucose intolerance. (8/104)

A paired homeodomain transcription factor, PAX6, is a well-known regulator of eye development, and its heterozygous mutations in humans cause congenital eye anomalies such as aniridia. Because it was recently shown that PAX6 also plays an indispensable role in islet cell development, a PAX6 gene mutation in humans may lead to a defect of the endocrine pancreas. Whereas heterozygous mutations in islet-cell transcription factors such as IPF1/IDX-1/STF-1/PDX-1 and NEUROD1/BETA2 serve as a genetic cause of diabetes or glucose intolerance, we investigated the possibility of PAX6 gene mutations being a genetic factor common to aniridia and diabetes. In five aniridia and one Peters' anomaly patients, all of the coding exons and their flanking exon-intron junctions of the PAX6 gene were surveyed for mutations. The results of direct DNA sequencing revealed three different mutations in four aniridia patients: one previously reported type of mutation and two unreported types. In agreement with polypeptide truncation and a lack of the carboxyl-terminal transactivation domain in all of the mutated PAX6 proteins, no transcriptional activity was found in the reporter gene analyses. Oral glucose tolerance tests revealed that all of the patients with a PAX6 gene mutation had glucose intolerance characterized by impaired insulin secretion. Although we did not detect a mutation within the characterized portion of the PAX6 gene in one of the five aniridia patients, diabetes was cosegregated with aniridia in her family, and a single nucleotide polymorphism in intron 9 of the PAX6 gene was correlated with the disorders, suggesting that a mutation, possibly located in an uncharacterized portion of the PAX6 gene, can explain both diabetes and aniridia in this family. In contrast, the patient with Peters' anomaly, for which a PAX6 gene mutation is a relatively rare cause, showed normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and did not show a Pax6 gene mutation. Taken together, our present observations suggest that heterozygous mutations in the PAX6 gene can induce eye anomaly and glucose intolerance in individuals harboring these mutations.  (+info)

PURPOSE. To investigate the tear cytokine profile in congenital aniridia, and correlate cytokine levels with ophthalmologic findings. METHODS. We examined 35 patients with aniridia and 21 healthy controls. Tear fluid was collected with Schirmer I test and capillary tubes from each eye, and the concentration of 27 inflammatory cytokines determined using multiplex bead assay. Eyes of all participants were examined with tests for dry eye disease, including evaluation of meibomian glands (meibography). Differences in cytokine levels between the two groups were analyzed, and correlations between cytokine concentrations and ophthalmologic findings in the aniridia group investigated. RESULTS. The concentrations of six tear cytokines were significantly higher in aniridia patients than controls in both eyes, and included interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-9, IL-17A; eotaxin; basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF/FGF2); and macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha/ CCL3). The ratio between the ...

Various modalities of treatment are reviewed.Keywords: aniridia, sporadic, nystagmus, cataract, glaucoma, keratopathy, tattooing, syndrome, fovea hypoplasia and optic disc hypoplasia
A 2 year old female presenting with bilateral sporadic aniridia was found to have an apparently balanced reciprocal translocation with a chromosome 11 breakpoint within band p13. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) studies with distal 11p13 specific cosmids showed that the chromosome 11 breakpoint lay between the aniridia (PAX6) locus and a region approximately 100 kb distal to PAX6 defined by the cosmid FO2121. Although this patient did not have a detectable deletion within PAX6, her aniridia may have resulted from a disruption of the distal chromatin domain containing either enhancers or regulators for PAX6. This case may therefore be another example of aniridia caused by a position effect as recently described in two familial aniridia patients in which the phenotype cosegregated with chromosome abnormalities with 11p13 breakpoints.. ...
Aniridia is a congenital autosomal dominant, bilateral, panocular condition, caused by haploinsufficiency of the Pax6 transcription factor. Aniridia-related keratopathy (ARK) significantly affects vision and quality of life in these patients. ARK is a chronic progressive keratopathy comprising limbal stem cell deficiency associated with impaired epithelial cell adhesion, corneal conjunctivalization, epithelial erosions and corneal vascular pannus that typically only appear after childhood.. The aims were i) to evaluate the structural changes and ii) cell signaling pathways, including the Notch1, Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), mTOR and Wnt/beta-catenin cell signaling pathways in naïve and surgically treated corneas of aniridia cases with advanced ARK and comparing with normal human adult and fetal corneas and iii) to develop a corneal cell culture model of aniridia..

TY - JOUR. T1 - Detection of submicroscopic chromosomal deletions in aniridia patients using fluorescence in situ hybridization and a panel of cosmids covering the WT1 gene. AU - Kempski, H.. AU - Cowell, J. K.. PY - 1993/1/1. Y1 - 1993/1/1. N2 - A series of cosmids have been isolated from a human chromosome 11-specific cosmid library using the human Wilms tumour predisposition gene cDNA, WT33. Seven overlapping cosmids were isolated which cover the genomic sequence of WT1 and in situ hybridisation shows that they all localise to the p13 region of chromosome 11. Chromosomes from patients with aniridia and Wilms tumour, and a small subband deletion in 11p13, were analysed and no hybridisation signal was seen on the deletion chromosomes. These cosmids, therefore, can be used to analyse chromosomes from patients with sporadic aniridia for submicroscopic deletions. Aniridia patients who show normal hybridisation patterns on both chromosomes need no longer be screened for Wilms tumours.. AB - A ...

The congenital eye malformation aniridia is caused by haploinsufficiency of the developmental regulator PAX6. We discovered a de novo point mutation in an ultraconserved ...
Purpose : Aniridia is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in PAX6 (Paired Box 6). Although named for lack of iris, aniridia is a panocular disorder, with vision loss attributable to three main causes: 1) hypomorphic fovea, 2) progressive corneal clouding, and 3) progressive glaucoma. Current treatments may delay vision loss, but do not prevent the blindness experienced by most people with aniridia. Gene therapy is a promising treatment strategy that may delay, or even prevent, vision loss. Here we focus on gene therapy for the corneal pathology. Methods : EmGFP (emerald GFP), PAX6, 3xFLAG/PAX6, and PAX6/3xFLAG mRNAs were injected into Xenopus laevis embryos, which were fixed and examined 14 days later. Additionally, EmGFP and 3xFLAG/PAX6 constructs, driven by smCBA (ubiquitous) or a human MiniPromoter (targeted to the cornea) were cloned into a custom rAAV genome, and packaged into rAAV9 at the University of Pennsylvania Vector Core. Viruses were introduced into wild-type and ...

Abstract: : Purpose: Anterior segment diseases including aniridia occur in the dog. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the canine PAX6 gene for the presence of causal mutations and to determine both its map position and transcriptional complexity in the canine genome. Methods: A canine pedigree was identified in which aniridia segregates as an autosomal recessive trait. Whole blood was used to make genomic DNA for analysis. PAX6 cDNA was cloned by RT-PCR from a canine retinal cDNA library. To test for the presence of multiple transcripts, primers were designed from human isoform b and used opposite canine primers. A canine radiation-hybrid (RH3000) panel was used to map PAX6 in relation to 3 genes on CFA18 (WT1, CD44, COLF1). To facilitate exon scanning in normal, affected, and carrier animals, primers were designed to span both introns and exons. Results: The entire 1289 bp coding sequence of canine PAX6 was cloned and shows 97% homology with the human sequence and 99.8% homology with the ...
Surgical Treatment Cataracts are extracted in aniridic patients if they produce a significant decrease in visual acuity in addition to the visual loss inherent to aniridia proper. In many patients with cataract even with extensive lens opacities the visual acuity is 42 D. Brémond-Gignac relatively preserved and compatible with the foveal hypoplasia. Cataract surgery is best deferred in these patients because of low potential for visual improvement and increased risks of complications as glaucoma or corneal dystrophy.

Background: Altered dosage of the transcription factor PAX6 causes multiple human eye pathophysiologies. PAX6(+/-) heterozygotes suffer from aniridia and aniridia-related keratopathy (ARK), a corneal deterioration that probably involves a limbal epithelial stem cell (LESC) deficiency. Heterozygous Pax6(+/Sey-Neu) (Pax6(+/-)) mice recapitulate the human disease and are a good model of ARK. Corneal pathologies also occur in other mouse Pax6 mutants and in PAX77(Tg/-) transgenics, which over-express Pax6 and model human PAX6 duplication. Methodology/Principal Findings: We used electron microscopy to investigate ocular defects in Pax6(+/-) heterozygotes (low Pax6 levels) and PAX77(Tg/-) transgenics (high Pax6 levels). As well as the well-documented epithelial defects, aberrant Pax6 dosage had profound effects on the corneal stroma and endothelium in both genotypes, including cellular vacuolation, similar to that reported for human macular corneal dystrophy. We used mosaic expression of an X-linked ...
Aniridia is an eye disorder characterized by a complete or partial absence of the colored part of the eye (the iris). These iris abnormalities may cause the pupils to be abnormal or misshapen. Aniridia can cause reduction in the sharpness of vision (visual acuity) and increased sensitivity to light (photophobia).People with aniridia can also have other eye problems. Increased pressure in the eye (glaucoma) typically appears in late childhood or early adolescence. Clouding of the lens of the eye (cataracts), occur in 50 percent to 85 percent of people with aniridia. In about 10 percent of affected people, the structures that carry information from the eyes to the brain (optic nerves) are underdeveloped. Individuals with aniridia may also have involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) or underdevelopment of the region at the back of the eye responsible for sharp central vision (foveal hypoplasia). Many of these eye problems contribute to progressive vision loss in affected individuals. The severity of ...
Aniridia is a congenital, hereditary, bilateral, extreme form of iris hypoplasia that may be associated with other ocular defects. It describes an extreme form of iris hypoplasia in which the iris appears absent on superficial clinical examination.
Definition : Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the paired box gene 6 (PAX6) gene, located at chromosome 11p13, which encodes for a transcriptional regulator involved in oculogenesis and other development processes; the gene is expressed in the eye and brain. Inherited mutations are present in patients with isolated aniridia. Mutations at this locus have been identified in patients with early onset of isolated aniridia, a disease characterized by complete or partial iris and foveal hypoplasia with reduced visual acuity and nystagmus progressing to cataract, glaucoma, and corneal opacification with vascularization..

BACKGROUND , A POTENTIAL CURE FOR ANIRIDIA. Bad vision at birth, worse vision later: Aniridia is apparent at birth because of the missing iris. Toddlers with aniridia need eyeglasses to see, sunglasses or darkened contact lenses to protect their eyes from overexposure to light, and cannot read small text. Their eyes are continually moving, making it difficult for them to focus, and have higher internal pressure (glaucoma), which damages the optic nerve as they get older. They are also prone to corneal damage in their teens and early adulthood. Eventually, most people with aniridia are considered legally blind, and must resort to Braille or expensive electronic aids to read.. The plasticity of the eye: The reversal of tissue damage in young mice, published online today by the Journal of Clinical Investigation, fits with the fact that mammals eyes arent fully formed at birth. Human babies dont discern colours until they are six months old, and their depth perception isnt fully developed until ...

The two generations of the Chinese family and another sporadic patient (case 3) studied in this report originated from the southern area of China. Two individuals in two successive generations (case I.1 and case II.2) and case 3 were found to have the same congenital ocular disease (Figure 2). The three patients had aniridia and bilateral corneal degeneration, neovasculation, eyeball horizontal tremor, and microphthalmia. They showed abnormal vision even from their early childhood. When this study was performed, the patients could detect only hand movement. Applanation tonometry revealed normal intraocular pressures in both eyes. Corneas were unnormal in size and transparency. The width of the cornea of patient II-2 (8 years old, female) was 9.5 mm (OD) and 10.0 mm (OS).The refractive error of patient II-2 was −1.25 diopters (D; OD) and −2.25 D (OS). The axial length of the eyes of patient II-2 was 22.82 mm (OD) and 22.84 mm (OS). No abnormalities were detected in the lens and retina, ...

People with Sporadic Aniridia have a 50% chance of passing on this condition to their children.. -WAGR syndrome - a new kind of sporadic aniridia(deletion of 11p13) This type of Aniridia is rare. Approximately 30% of people who are born with Sporadic Aniridia will also have WAGR syndrome. Both parents have normal chromosomes.. WAGR syndrome has a mutation of Pax6 gene with some of the neighboring genes mutation in the short arm of the 11th chromosome. People with WAGR syndrome have a contiguous gene deletion (a missing part of a gene ), which contains PAX6 gene, and the nearby region of 11p13, which contains a gene, called the Wilms tumor suppressor gene or gene WT1. The absence of a WT1 allele in these people leads to a high risk ( 45%) of Wilms tumor mutation. In Wilms tumor patients, usually (86% ) have only one kidney affected, in 6% both kidney, 8% of patients have mamy tumors in one kidney. Early diagnosis of the syndrome, along with close medical supervision and educational support will ...
Aniridia is an eye disorder characterized by a complete or partial absence of the colored part of the eye (the iris). These iris abnormalities may cause the pupils to be abnormal or misshapen. Aniridia can cause reduction in the sharpness of vision (visual acuity) and increased sensitivity to light (photophobia).. People with aniridia can also have other eye problems. Increased pressure in the eye (glaucoma) typically appears in late childhood or early adolescence. Clouding of the lens of the eye (cataracts), occur in 50 percent to 85 percent of people with aniridia. In about 10 percent of affected people, the structures that carry information from the eyes to the brain (optic nerves) are underdeveloped. Individuals with aniridia may also have involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) or underdevelopment of the region at the back of the eye responsible for sharp central vision (foveal hypoplasia). Many of these eye problems contribute to progressive vision loss in affected individuals. The severity ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - PAX6 gene dosage effect in a family with congenital cataracts, aniridia, anophthalmia and central nervous system defects. AU - Glaser, Tom. AU - Jepeal, Lisa. AU - Edwards, Janice G.. AU - Young, S. Robert. AU - Favor, Jack. AU - Maas, Richard L.. PY - 1994/8. Y1 - 1994/8. N2 - The human eye malformation aniridia results from haploinsufficiency of PAX6, a paired box DNA-binding protein. To study this dosage effect, we characterized two PAX6 mutations in a family segregating aniridia and a milder syndrome consisting of congenital cataracts and late onset corneal dystrophy. The nonsense mutations, at codons 103 and 353, truncate PAX6 within the N-terminal paired and C-terminal PST domains, respectively. The wild-type PST domain activates transcription autonomously and the mutant form has partial activity. A compound heterozygote had severe craniofacial and central nervous system defects and no eyes. The pattern of malformations is similar to that in homozygous Sey mice and suggests ...

Nearly all the genes in human DNA have two copies, one inherited from the mother and one from the father. There are some genetic diseases where only one copy is normal and the other one is non-functional due to a mistake in the DNA. The idea behind this study was to see if the normal copy can be enhanced to make up for the non-functional copy, said Ali Djalilian, UIC professor of ophthalmology and corresponding author of the paper. Researchers used a mouse model of the human disease aniridia, an eye disorder that affects the iris and causes substantial visual impairment and can also be associated with systemic abnormalities. In aniridia, one copy of the gene PAX6 is normal and the other copy is non-functional. The PAX6 gene is important in eye development and patients with aniridia and PAX6 deficiency are born with eye problems, which limit their vision and can progress throughout life, Djalilian said. The investigators screened drugs that can enhance PAX6 and found a particular class of drugs ...

NIH Rare Diseases : 52 The following summary is from Orphanet , a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs. Orpha Number: 1065 Definition A rare, congenital , neurological disorder characterized by the association of partial bilateral aniridia with non-progressive cerebellar ataxia , and intellectual disability . Epidemiology To date, less than 30 patients have been reported in the literature. Clinical description Aniridia is visible at birth as fixed dilated pupils and is associated with photobia. It can be accompanied with additional ocular findings such as foveal, patchy iris and/or optic nerve hypoplasia, retinal hypopigmentation, and/or pigmentary macular changes leading to reduced visual acuity. Cataract and corneal opacities are never observed. Non-progressive cerebellar ataxia is associated with delayed developmental milestones and hypotonia (visible from the first year of life), gait and balance disorders with incoordination, intention tremor, and ...

Blindness hasnt stopped me from being able to run. I come from a small seaside town in Ireland called Youghal. I was born visually impaired with four eye conditions: aniridia, coloboma, nystagmus, and glaucoma. I have just 5% vision and I am registered legally blind. I find reading very difficult on my eyes and they get sore quite quickly. I have a variety of different magnifying glasses to help when reading. I am very sensitive to light and reflection and I have to wear my sunglasses when outside. I dont see depth and…. Read More ...

ARS presents with ocular features (eye abnormalities) and non-ocular features. Most commonly affected ocular structure in ARS are the iris, the cornea, and the anterior chamber. The ocular abnormalities often affect both eyes, although it can be asymmetrical and in rare cases, only one eye might be affected.. The iris abnormalities include underdevelopment (iris hypoplasia) or thinning of the iris (iris stromal atrophy). In more severe cases, this may result in the formation of holes in the iris that can appear as if the individual has more than one pupil (pseudopolycoria). Iris hypoplasia may also lead to the displacement of the pupil from its normal position (corectopia). If severe, iris hypoplasia may even appear as aniridia, the complete absence of the iris. Less commonly, ARS may present with strabismus, a condition where the two eyes are misaligned with each other. This is because the extraocular muscles which are responsible for eye movements attach to the eye at abnormal insertion ...

In the human paired box-containing (PAX) gene family, only two members, PAX-3 and PAX-6, which are associated with Waardenburgs syndrome and aniridia, respectively have been mapped to human chromosomes. We have now isolated cosmids for six additional human PAX genes (PAX-1,-2,-5,-7,-8,-9) and a polymerase chain reaction fragment for PAX-4. PAX-9 is a novel family member which is closely related in its paired domain to PAX-1. The chromosomal location of all cloned PAX genes was determined by analysis of somatic cell hybrids and (except PAX-4) by fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. PAX-1 and PAX-7 map to chromosomal regions containing previously assigned disease loci.

Screening tests are done in children with an increased risk of Wilms tumor. These tests may help find cancer early and decrease the chance of dying from cancer.. In general, children with an increased risk of Wilms tumor should be screened for Wilms tumor every three months until they are at least 8 years old. An ultrasound test of the abdomen is usually used for screening. Small Wilms tumors may be found and removed before symptoms occur. Children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or hemihyperplasia are also screened for liver and adrenal tumors that are linked to these genetic syndromes. A test to check the alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level in the blood and an ultrasound of the abdomen are done until the child is 4 years old. An ultrasound of the kidneys is done after the child is 4 years old. In children with certain gene changes, a different schedule for ultrasound of the abdomen may be used.. Children with aniridia and a certain gene change are screened for Wilms tumor every three months until ...
