A cataract that has material basis in homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the GCNT2 gene on chromosome 6p24.
Comprehensive, easy-to-understand information about this condition
How we create this content →The limited documentation surrounding cataract 13 with adult I phenotype is primarily due to its rarity and the recent identification of its genetic basis. As this condition affects a small number of individuals, comprehensive clinical studies have been challenging to conduct. Ongoing research may eventually provide more insights into its clinical features and management.
To navigate cataract 13 with adult I phenotype, consider consulting a geneticist or an ophthalmologist with experience in hereditary cataracts. They can provide insights into genetic testing options for you and your family. Additionally, seeking genetic counseling can be beneficial in understanding inheritance patterns and implications for family members.
