Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the genetic effects underlying non-familial sporadic congenital cataract (SCC). METHODS: We collected DNA samples from 74 patients with SCC and 20 patients with traumatic cataract (TC) in an age-matched group and performed genomic sequencing of 61 lens-related genes with target region capture and next-generation sequencing (NGS). The suspected SCC variants were validated...
