Other Support Services; Appendix; Glossary; IndexWhen a child is born without a complete iris, it is usually a symptom of a broader condition. Known as aniridia, this condition can also be a sign other parts of the eye are underdeveloped as well. Moreover, recent research shows that the gene involved can also affect the kidneys, pancreas and forebrain, so aniridia can coincide with a range of symptoms known as WAGR syndrome. Until recently, however, there was very little information available on aniridia and WAGR Syndrome. Even now, not all of the available information is current or correct, so that when a child is diagnosed with aniridia, the parents often find or are given information that is confusing and even frightening. Our hope is to enlighten and encourage those affected by aniridia and WAGR Syndrome by providing patient support and medical information.Oxford scholarship online.Iris (Eye)DiseasesPopular worksGenetic disordersPopular worksSyndromesPopular worksIris (Eye)DiseasesGenetic disordersSyndromes617.7/2Nerby Jill Ann1648262Otis Jessica J1648263MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816468703321Aniridia and WAGR syndrome3996271UNINA
