Ectopia Pupillae

Description

Ectopia pupillae is a congenital eye malformation in which the pupils are displaced from their normal central position.

Inheritance

Whether familial ectopic pupil occurs as an isolated anomaly is not certain. It is a feature of ectopia lentis et pupillae (225200) and of ptosis, strabismus, and ectopic pupils (178330). In either of these conditions, individuals or part of a kindred might show only ectopic pupil. Hanson et al. (1999) found ectopia pupillae in a child with 'atypical aniridia'; see 106210 and (607108.0013).
