Family with aniridia, microcornea, and spontaneously reabsorbed cataract.
We examined a family that had aniridia, microcornea, and spontaneously reabsorbed cataract in three members in three generations. An autosomal dominant inheritance for these features was strongly suggested. We believe that a spontaneously reabsorbed cataract is particularly unusual in association with aniridia.
