Objective To examine the clinical phenotype and genetic deficiencies present in Chinese aniridia families with PAX6 haplotype deficiency.Methods A comprehensive questionnaire and ophthalmological assessments were admi...
The relationship between genetic alterations at chromosomal band 11p13 and the WAGR(Wilms'tumor,aniridia,genitourinary anomalies,and mental retardation)syndrome is not clearly understood.To aid our understanding of th...
●AIM:To investigate the molecular diagnosis of a threegeneration Chinese family affected with aniridia,and further to identify clinically a PAX6 missense mutation in members with atypical aniridia.●METHODS:Eleven fa...
Background and Objective:Limbal stem cell deficiency(LSCD)describes the clinical condition when there is dysfunction of the corneal epithelial stem/progenitor cells and the inability to sustain the normal homeostasis ...

Dear Editor,Ocular trauma can cause severe visual functional impairment.The management is often challenging due to multistructures affected.Toric intraocular lens(IOL)implantation can be an effective method for the tr...
Background: Congenital aniridia is a rare, panophthalmic disorder that can cause vision loss. Knowledge of aniridia as an isolated ocular abnormality or as a part of systemic abnormalities is important. Management of ...
AIM:To evaluate the long-term outcome of implantation of black diaphragm intraocular (BDI) lens combined with penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for managing aphakic eyes with traumatic aniridia and corneal damage. METHOD...

Background Mutations in PAX6 gene have been shown to be the genetic cause of aniridia, which is a severe panocular eye disease characterised by iris hypoplasia. However, there is no study to do genetic analysis of ani...
Purpose: To reconstruct the anatomic and functional impairment in patients with post-traumatic aniridia, aphakia, and retinal detachment.Methods: Four patients with unilateral aniridia and aphakia as well as retinal d...
