  • Aniridia

    Recent Developments in Scientific and Clinical Research

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The aim of this book is to highlight the latest findings in Aniridia research. Aniridia, meaning “without iris”, is a rare genetic disorder affecting vision, characterized by the incomplete formation of the iris (the coloured part of the eye that surrounds the black pupil). It may also cause other segments of the eye to be under-developed such as the optic nerve and the macula (the central part of ... Read more
