CATARACT 2, MULTIPLE TYPES; CTRCT2
Alternate names
CATARACT 2, MULTIPLE TYPES; CTRCT2 Is also known as cataract 2, multiple types, with or without microcornea, ccl, cataract, coppock-like
Description
Mutations in the CRYGC gene have been found to cause several types of cataract, which have been described as Coppock-like; embryonic, fetal, infantile nuclear; zonular pulverulent; and lamellar. Some patients also exhibit microcornea.Before it was known that mutations in the CRYGC gene cause several types of cataract, this entry was titled 'Cataract, Coppock-like,' with the symbol CCL.
Most common symptoms of CATARACT 2, MULTIPLE TYPES; CTRCT2
- Nystagmus
- Cataract
