Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital cataracts are the most common cause of visual impairment worldwide. Inherited cataract is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease.

Variants in this gene are known to cause autosomal recessive congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). METHODS: Using whole-exome...
