Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 06/12/09
Boley S et al. - The difference in Lisch nodule burden between light and dark irides is likely due to the photo-protective effects of pigmentation. The genes underlying the control of iris color may thus be viewed as modifiers of severity of Lisch nodule burden in NF1. Given the role of UV radiation and, presumably, DNA damage in Lisch nodule pathogenesis, "benign tumor of the iris," not "hamartoma," may be a better descriptor.
