Congenital cataracts and their molecular genetics.

Seminars in cell & developmental biology - 1 Apr 2008

Hejtmancik J Fielding

Abstract excerpt

Cataract can be defined as any opacity of the crystalline lens. Congenital cataract is particularly serious because it has the potential for inhibiting visual development, resulting in permanent blindness. Inherited cataracts represent a major contribution to congenital cataracts, especially in d...
