Abstract excerpt
We describe a 5-year-old boy with a unique congenital cataract caused by deposition of numerous birefringent, pleiochroic and macroscopically prismatic crystals. Crystal analysis with subsequent automatic Edman degradation and matrix-associated laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spec...
