Nuclear cataracts were found in 2 groups of related Morgan horses. The cataracts were finely reticulated central spherical translucencies that sometimes extended to the region of the posterior "Y" suture. The cataracts were not associated with other ocular defects and did not impair vision. In 1 group of 8 horses, 5 were affected; in the other group, 6 of 8 were affected. Although a pattern of inheritance could not be determined, the familial distribution of the cataracts supported the conclusion that the defect was a heritable disorder.
在两组有亲缘关系的摩根马中发现了核性白内障。这些白内障是精细网状的中央球形半透明区，有时会延伸到后“Y”缝线区域。白内障与其他眼部缺陷无关，也不损害视力。在一组8匹马中，有5匹患病；在另一组中，8匹中有6匹患病。尽管无法确定遗传模式，但白内障的家族分布支持了该缺陷是一种遗传性疾病的结论。
