Congenital cataract is the leading cause for children's blindness in most countries. Approximately one third of all the causes of Congenital cataract are familial and autosomal dominant blindness infants. The etiology of congen ital cataract is heterogenous. With the development of molecular biology techniques, researches on the mechanism of congenital cataract have made great progress. This review focused on the molecular mechanism of congenital cataract.
在大多数国家,先天性白内障是导致儿童失明的主要原因。所有先天性白内障病因中,约三分之一是家族性常染色体显性遗传性失明婴儿。先天性白内障的病因具有异质性。随着分子生物学技术的发展,关于先天性白内障发病机制的研究取得了很大进展。本文综述聚焦于先天性白内障的分子机制。
