ABSTRACT

It was done a review in the Internet data base about several hereditary and genetic topics involved in the congenital cataract. It was found several genes implicated such as: CRYGD, CCV, PCC, LOC619404, CCA1, CATM, CCNP, PITX3, GCNT2, CCT, CCAT, CATC2, CCZS, CCFDN, CRYAA, BFSP2, CRYBB1, CRYBB2, Cgct, MAF, Cad, CCA2, HSF4, CRYBA1, CRYAB, CRYGC, FAM126A, EYA1, CRYBB3, PAX6, NHS, GJA8, GJA3, AIPL1, SIX6, MTHFR, GALT, Gja3, LCT, BCL2, DMBX1 and GALK1. It reports a pair of twins of 28 years of age, affected of juvenile congenital cataract in hers both eyes, diagnosed during adolescence with slow and progressive decrease of vision and It was decided the extracapsular extraction of the lens by limbic pathway with intraocular lens implant in capsular bag during 2004. The results were satisfactory during the transoperatory performance. The best corrected refraction done three months later was about 1.0 and 0.8. Actually the similar visual acuity have no variations.
