International audience; Purpose: To correlate the degree of foveal hypoplasia in congenital aniridia with visual acuity, iris phenotype, and PAX6 mutations.Design: Retrospective case series.Methods: 95 consecutive patients with high quality Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) records and available genotype were included in a single referral center. Iris hypoplasia was classified as complete, presence of iris root or remnants and mild atypical aniridia. SD-OCT images were assessed to classify foveal hypoplasia as Grade 1 to 4 and to determine mean thicknesses for retinal layers. For statistical analysis one eye for each patient have been used and one member of the same family has been included (n=76 eyes).Results: Most eyes (93.5%) showed variable degree of foveal hypoplasia. PAX6-positive patients presented higher degree of foveal hypoplasia than patients negative for PAX6 (p
