Sarah Leigh (Genomics England Curator)

Red List (low evidence)

Intellectual disability is not reported in the phenotypes that have been associated with variants in PAX6 (see OMIM: 607108). It would appear that the aniridia seen in WAGR syndrome (OMIM: 194072) is due PAX6 variants and the intellectual disabillity and other features of this syndrome are caused by other genes within 11p13 the deletion.

Tracy Lester (Genetics laboratory, Oxford UK)

Red List (low evidence)

I don't think this gene should be green on the ID panel. ID seems to be part of the WAGR syndrome which is a contiguous gene deletion syndrome involving this gene and others. Variants in this gene are associated with an eye disorder.
