Aniridia (lack of an iris in the eye) is often associated with Wilms tumor, which is a rare type of kidney cancer that primarily affects young children. The tumor may also be accompanied by abnormalities of the urinary tract, such as horseshoe kidney or duplication of the ureter. However, cystic disease of the liver, anemia, and hypothyroidism are not typically associated with Wilms tumor.
