Aniridia is an autosomal dominant panocular disorder, characterized by hypoplasia of the iris. It is caused by mutations in the PAX6 gene. This gene encodes a 422-amino acid transcription factor. This protein includes paired and homeo domains, which bind DNA and a proline-serine and threonine-rich P
Because of the recent identification of several mutations of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) in patients with Rett syndrome (RTT), a patient with suspected RTT from an autism clinic was screened for mutations. She was found to have a novel heterozygous nonsense mutation, 129C>T (Q19X), which le
