An aniridia patient was found to have a novel mutation. A genetic duplication within , which caused a frameshift mutation, ultimately created a nonsense stop codon and premature truncation of the protein. Consequently, the patient presented with a clouded cornea as a result of partial limbal stem cell deficiency, foveal hypoplasia, nystagmus and a pale, cupped optic disc caused by glaucoma.
一名无虹膜患者被发现有一个新的突变。基因内部的重复导致了移码突变,最终产生了一个无义终止密码子,并使蛋白质过早截短。因此,该患者因部分角膜缘干细胞缺乏而出现角膜混浊,因青光眼导致黄斑发育不全、眼球震颤以及视盘苍白、凹陷。
