1 INTRODUCTION Congenital aniridia (OMIM #106210) is a rare disease (National Organization for Rare Disorders, 2021; Orphanet, 2022) with a reported prevalence varying from 1:40 000–1:76 000 in Scandinavia (Landsend et al., 2021). Aniridia is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and originates in most cases from a mutation in the paired-box gene 6 (PAX6) (Landsend et al., 2018).
