A case of aniridia with unilateral Peters anomaly

Abstract

Aniridia is an autosomal-dominant, panocular, congenital anomaly transmitted with high penetrance and largely caused by mutations in the PAX6 gene. Although Peters anomaly may also be caused by mutations in PAX6, there has not to our knowledge been a report of aniridia associated with lens displacement into the anterior chamber and lenticular-corneal attachment. We report a child with aniridia and Peters anomaly associated with a PAX6 gene mutation.
