We recommend considering PAX6 as a candidate gene in the diagnostic screen for familial concomitant strabismus in order to avoid missed diagnosis of the mild ocular abnormalities. Careful examinations of mild ocular phenotypes are necessary for an accurate diagnosis of varied ocular abnormalities in the families with the PAX6 mutation, and proper diagnosis can facilitate genetic and clinical counseling for affected patients.
