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. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aIris (Eye)$xDiseases$vPopular works 606 $aGenetic disorders$vPopular works 606 $aSyndromes$vPopular works 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIris (Eye)$xDiseases 615 0$aGenetic disorders 615 0$aSyndromes 676 $a617.7/2 701 $aNerby$b Jill Ann$0893169 701 $aOtis$b Jessica J$0893170 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458807603321 996 $aAniridia and WAGR syndrome$91994914 997 $aUNINA
