Homozygous<i>CRYBB1</i>Deletion Mutation Underlies Autosomal Recessive Congenital Cataract
25 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Some 30% of cases of congenital cataract are genetic in origin, usually transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. The molecular defects underlying some of these autosomal dominant cases have been identified and were demonstrated to be mostly mutations in crystallin genes. The autosomal recessive form of the disease is less frequent. To date, only four genes and three loci have been associated with...
