Genetics of childhood cataract

29 Jan 2004

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Congenital cataracts, although much less common than their age-related counterparts, account for one-tenth of cases of childhood blindness. Approximately half are inherited, either in isolation or as part of a syndrome of ocular or systemic anomalies. This article reviews recent advances made in understanding the molecular genetic basis of isolated, nonsyndromic inherited cataract. RECENT...
