Preferred Label : Cataract 3, multiple types;
Symbol : CTRCT3;
CISMeF acronym : CCA2; CTRCT3;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Cataract 3, multiple types, with or without microcornea; CCA2; Cataract, congenital, cerulean type, 2;
Description : Mutations in the CRYBB2 gene have been found to cause several types of cataract, which
have been described as congenital cerulean, 'blue dot,' Coppock-like, sutural with
punctate and cerulean opacities, pulverulent embryonal, pulverulent with cortical
opacities, dense posterior star-shaped subcapsular with pulverulent opacities in the
cortical and embryonal regions, and dense embryonal. Before it was known that mutations
in the CRYBB2 gene cause several types of cataract, the preferred title of this entry
was 'Cataract, Congenital, Cerulean Type 2,' with the symbol CCA2.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the beta-B2-crystallin gene (CRYBB2, 123620.0001);
