To study the molecular genetic mechanism of hereditary congenital anifidia, the entire coding exons (exon 4-13) of PAX6 gene and the flanking exon-intron junctions were amplified through PCR from the genomic DNA of all the two patients in a Chinese family with aniridia. PCR products were purified from agarose gel and sequenced. In both patients, a novel deletion mutation (c. 1286delC) in exon 11 was identified. Compared with the normal product of PAX6 gene, this mutation caused frame shifting, and generated a novel 55 amino acid peptide from codon 309. This deletion also resulted in premature termination codon (PTC) and preterminated peptide synthesis. Meanwhile, this mutation was absent in all the unaffected family members and 50 normal control individuals through PCR-RFLR
