Systemic Diseases in Patients with Congenital Aniridia: A Report from the Homburg Registry for Congenital Aniridia [PDF]
Introduction Congenital aniridia is increasingly recognized as part of a complex syndrome with numerous ocular developmental anomalies and non-ocular systemic manifestations. This requires comprehensive care and treatment of affected patients.

Congenital aniridia: European COST action ANIRIDIA-NET guidelines for diagnosis, management and care. [PDF]
Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare ocular disorder affecting the majority of eye structures and can be associated with systemic manifestations. The main visible phenotypic characteristic is the partial or complete absence of the iris; however, foveal hypoplasia is a more frequent and reliable clinical sign. Other ocular comorbidities are associated

Clinical and molecular aspects of congenital aniridia – A review of current concepts [PDF]
Congenital aniridia is a pan ocular disorder characterized by partial or total loss of iris tissue as the defining feature. Classic aniridia, however, has a spectrum of ocular findings, including foveal hypoplasia, optic nerve hypoplasia, nystagmus, late-

mRNA Sequencing of Limbal Epithelial Cells and mRNA/miRNA Profiling of Limbal Stromal Cells in PAX6-Related Congenital Aniridia [PDF]
The dysfunction of limbal epithelial cells (LECs) and limbal stromal cells (LSCs) in congenital aniridia remains incompletely understood. We aimed to analyze mRNA expression profiles of primary human LECs and LSCs, as well as microRNA (miRNA) expression ...
