CATARACT 5, MULTIPLE TYPES; CTRCT5

Alternate names

CATARACT 5, MULTIPLE TYPES; CTRCT5 Is also known as cam, ctm, cataract, lamellar, cataract, marner type

Description

Congenital cataracts cause 10 to 30% of all blindness in children, with one-third of cases estimated to have a genetic cause (summary by Bu et al., 2002). Mutations in the HSF4 gene have been found to cause multiple types of cataract, which have been described as infantile, lamellar, zonular, nuclear, anterior polar, stellate, and Marner-type.The preferred title for this entry was formerly 'Lamellar Cataract,' with 'Cataract, Marner Type; CAM; CTM' an included title.

Most common symptoms of CATARACT 5, MULTIPLE TYPES; CTRCT5

  • Cataract
  • Blindness
  • Congenital cataract
  • Nuclear cataract
  • Pulverulent cataract

Alternate names

TOTAL EARLY-ONSET CATARACT Is also known as cataract, congenital, x-linked, cataract, congenital total, with posterior sutural opacities in heterozygotes, cxn, cct, cataract 40 with or without microcornea

Most common symptoms of TOTAL EARLY-ONSET CATARACT

  • Cataract
  • Visual impairment
  • Ventricular septal defect
  • Microphthalmia
  • Patent ductus arteriosus
