Abstract:
Congenital cataracts is the leading cause of visual disability in children worldwide.With the evolution of molecular biological technique,the researches of inherited congenital cataract mainly focus on localization and fuction characterization of the disease-associated gene,including crystallin,connexin,major intrinsic protein gene,etc.And great progress has been made for such genes in eye development,age-related cataract,epigenetics study.Thus,great attention must be paid to the functional research about congenital cataract candidate gene.
