Abstract excerpt
Congenital cataracts, which are genetically heterogeneous eye disorders, lead to visual impairment in childhood. In our previous study, we identified a novel mutation in exon 4 of the CRYBA1/BA3 gene, which resulted in the deletion of a highly conserved glycine at codon 91 (G91del) and perinuclear zonular cataract. The G91del variant is one of the most frequent pathogenic mutations in CRYBA1/BA3; however, its...
