The WSPOS 14th thematic webinar: a “not-to-miss” aniridia-focused session.

Last year, the World Society for Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (WSPOS) dedicated its 14ht webinar entirely to aniridia. With the participation of recognized experts from four different countries, including Neil Lagali (from the University of Linkoping, in Sweden), Dr. David Walton (from Massachusetts General Hospital in USA) and Hannah Scanga (from University of Pittsburgh, in USA),  Dr. Dominique Bremond-Gignac and Dr. Ken K. Nischal guide the discussion through the in’s and out’s of genetic testing, phenotype-genotype variability, AAK, glaucoma and cataract in aniridia patients. The therapeutic potential of Ataluren, a recent drug under trial for aniridia, was also an interesting topic of discussion in this session.
