Congenital nystagmus (CN) is a heterogeneous disease that shows variable clinical features. There are a few mutations that are known to cause CN. Among them, a PAX6 mutation is known to cause CN with an extremely high frequency of aniridia. Here, we report on a family with an autosomal dominant PAX6 mutation, c.214G > A (p.Gly72Ser.), who presented with CN in the absence of aniridia. This study describes detailed clinical findings, including videonystagmography and fundus photography findings and emphasizes the importance of screening for the PAX6 gene in patients who present with CN in the absence of aniridia, as this will further elucidate the known phenotypes of PAX6-related diseases.
