A FAMILY OF ANIRIDIA WITH ECTOPIA LENTIS
Abstract
Aniridia is an uncommon genetic aberration with ocular and systemic associations leading to compromise of visual function with poor prognostic value. This case series is being presented for its rarity to provide an illustration of the varied clinical spectrum of ocular involvement in congenital familial aniridia. It seeks to emphasize that Wilms tumour is rare in autosomal dominant forms of Aniridia and also to highlight the difficulties in management of this condition. Familial screening genetic counselling is the need of the hour for reducing its morbidity.
