Preferred Label : Cataract 1, multiple types;
Symbol : CTRCT1;
CISMeF acronym : CAE1; CTRCT1; CZP; CZP1;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Cataract, duffy-linked; CAE1; Cataract 1, multiple types, with or without microcornea; Cataract, zonular pulverulent, 1; CZP1; CZP;
Description : Mutations in the GJA8 gene have been found to cause several types of autosomal dominant
cataract, which have been described as congenital, zonular pulverulent, nuclear progressive,
nuclear pulverulent, stellate nuclear, nuclear total, total, and posterior subcapsular.
Cataract associated with microcornea, sometimes called the cataract-microcornea syndrome,
is also caused by mutation in the GJA8 gene. Before it was known that mutation in
the GJB8 gene caused multiple types of cataract, this entry was titled 'Cataract,
zonular pulverulent, 1,' with the symbols CZP1, CZP, and CAE1.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the gap junction membrane channel protein alpha-8 gene (GJA8,
600897.0001);
Prefixed ID : #116200;
