Bilateral congenital or childhood onset cataracts
Gene: GLS
GLS is associated with a phenotype on OMIM but not on Gene2Phenotype. There is only one published case (PMID: 30239721) who had infantile cataracts who had a heterozygote variant in this gene. The same paper also created a zebrafish model of this variant and it caused cataracts in the fish. However, until more evidence is available this gene will be rated amber.Created: 28 Aug 2019, 3:43 p.m. | Last Modified: 28 Aug 2019, 3:43 p.m.
