Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Posterior polar cataract (PPC), a rare congenital cataract, is characterized by subcapsular opacities in the lens affecting vision and posing surgical challenges. Genetic heterogeneity exists, though several genes are implicated in its pathogenesis. This study reports on the genetic profile of late-onset PPC cases and identifies variations specific to posterior capsular rupture (PCR) during surgery....
