PAX6 disease models for aniridia
Aniridia is a pan-ocular genetic developmental eye disorder characterized by complete or partial iris and foveal hypoplasia, for which there is no treatment currently.

Background The paired homeobox protein Pax6 is essential for proliferation and pluripotency of retinal progenitors. However, temporal changes in Pax6 protein expression associated with the generation of various retinal neurons have not been characterized

Pax6 regulates the expression of Dkk3 in murine and human cell lines, and altered responses to Wnt signaling are shown in FlpIn-3T3 cells stably expressing either the Pax6 or the Pax6(5a) isoform. [PDF]
Pax6 is a transcription factor important for early embryo development. It is expressed in several cancer cell lines and tumors. In glioblastoma, PAX6 has been shown to function as a tumor suppressor.

Pax6 as a Therapeutic Target: Convergent Molecular Pathways in the Regulation of Aniridia, Neurogenesis, Neurodegeneration and Oncology [PDF]
Pax6 is a multifunctional transcription factor that orchestrates cell cycle progression at distinct stages of early embryonic neurogenesis and serves as a molecular mediator integrating multiple signaling pathways associated with pathological processes ...

PAX6 Downregulation Triggers HIF-1α-Mediated Ferroptosis in Glioma Cells [PDF]
Background: The paired-box gene 6 (PAX6) is an important transcription factor in the central nervous system, mainly regulating the development and differentiation of embryonic eyes and the nervous system.

Clinical and molecular aspects of congenital aniridia – A review of current concepts
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-

3T3 cell lines stably expressing Pax6 or Pax6(5a)--a new tool used for identification of common and isoform specific target genes. [PDF]
Pax6 and Pax6(5a) are two isoforms of the evolutionary conserved Pax6 gene often co-expressed in specific stochiometric relationship in the brain and the eye during development.
