Definition

Mutations in the CRYBB3 gene have been identified in families with cataract, described as congenital nuclear cataract with cortical riders, nuclear, posterior polar, anterior polar, and cortical.

Clinical features

From HPO
Developmental cataract
MedGen UID:
3202
•Concept ID:
C0009691
•
Congenital Abnormality
A cataract that occurs congenitally as the result of a developmental defect, in contrast to the majority of cataracts that occur in adulthood as the result of degenerative changes of the lens.

Glaucoma
MedGen UID:
42224
•Concept ID:
C0017601
•
Disease or Syndrome
Glaucoma refers loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy usually associated with increased intraocular pressure.

Nuclear cataract
MedGen UID:
140274
•Concept ID:
C0392557
•
Finding
A nuclear cataract is an opacity or clouding that develops in the lens nucleus. That is, a nuclear cataract is one that is located in the center of the lens. The nucleus tends to darken changing from clear to yellow and sometimes brown.
