Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Disrupted lens development can result in congenital cataract. Despite identifying over 50 genes linked to non-syndromic pediatric cataract, a causative mutation is found in only about 50% of affected families.

Results: Sequencing revealed heterozygous variants affecting splicing of the final intron of...
