Cataract 33(CTRCT33)

MedGen UID:
814437
Concept ID:
C3808107
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: CATARACT 33, CORTICAL; Cataract 33, multiple types
 
Gene (location): BFSP1 (20p12.1)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0012665
OMIM®: 611391

Definition

Mutations in the BFSP1 gene have been found to cause multiple types of cataract, which have been described as cortical, nuclear, and progressive punctate lamellar. Both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive modes of inheritance have been reported. [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Cataract 5 multiple types
MedGen UID:
78608
Concept ID:
C0266537
Congenital Abnormality
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.
Cortical cataract
MedGen UID:
82868
Concept ID:
C0271160
Acquired Abnormality
A cataract which affects the layer of the lens surrounding the nucleus, i.e., the lens cortex. It is identified by its unique wedge or spoke appearance.
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.
