Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of gene detection, in particular to a new gene mutation site that causes congenital membranous cataract, detection method and application, Background technique
[0002] Congenital cataract (congenital cataract, CC) refers to the partial or complete opacity of the lens that exists before birth or gradually forms after birth and occurs within one year after birth. The global incidence of CC is 1-15 / 10,000, which is the second leading cause of blindness in children. CC due to abnormal lens metabolism in the embryonic stage causes its own transparency to decrease. Any genetic mutation that participates in or affects the development of the lens may lead to the occurrence of congenital cataracts.
[0003] Among more than 100 genetic abnormalities that have been found to cause congenital cataracts, 39 are associated with only manifestations that cause simple cataracts. Among these 39 gene abnormalities, more than half of ...
