    Gillespie syndrome, also called aniridia, cerebellar ataxia and mental deficiency.

    [1][2][3] is
    a rare genetic disorder. The disorder is characterized by partial aniridia (meaning that part of
    the iris is missing), ataxia (motor and coordination problems), and, in most cases, intellectual

    recessive manner.[4] Gillespie syndrome was first described by American ophthalmologist
    Fredrick Gillespie in 1965.[1][3]
