611597 | OMIM | Cataract 12, multiple types (CTRCT12) | An opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye that frequently results in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive. In general, the more posteriorly located and dense an opacity, the greater the impact on visual function. The opacities can be nuclear, sutural, stellate cortical, lamellar, cortical, nuclear embryonic, Y-sutural, punctate cortical, congenital or with juvenile- and adult-onset. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
