Corneal changes in familial iris coloboma.

H K Soong, M B Raizman

    Ophthalmology
    |March 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Autosomal dominant iris coloboma in a family presented with unique corneal changes similar to aniridia. These findings suggest a potential spectrum between ocular coloboma and aniridia.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Investigating a family with autosomal dominant iris coloboma.
    • Examining the phenotypic spectrum of ocular developmental defects.

    Observation:

    • Affected individuals exhibited unilateral or bilateral iris coloboma.
    • All members displayed bilateral peripheral corneal changes resembling aniridia, characterized by 360-degree pannus-like growths without vascularization.
    • One adolescent showed bilateral lenticular opacities along the coloboma meridian.

    Findings:

    • The study identified a novel association between iris coloboma and aniridia-like corneal pathology.
    • Absence of glaucoma, optic disc/macular hypoplasia, nystagmus, or extraocular malformations in affected family members.

    Implications:

    • Iris coloboma and aniridia may represent a continuous spectrum of a single developmental defect.
    • Aniridia-like corneal changes could be a nonspecific sign of broader iris developmental abnormalities.
