Abstract
Loss-of-function mutations in laminin β2 (LAMB2) cause a broad range of ocular pathology, emphasizing the importance of laminin β2 in eye development. Patients with Pierson syndrome can initially present with ocular signs alone. In newborns with marked bilateral microcoria, Pierson syndrome should be considered and renal function investigated.
