Bilateral congenital or childhood onset cataracts
Gene: POMT2
Mode of inheritance

Publications
Variants in this GENE are reported as part of current diagnostic practice
Comment on list classification: We discussed and agreed internally that all genes within the Muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with brain and eye anomalies) phenotypic series available on OMIM should be demoted to red, as it is unlikely that these conditions would present with cataracts as a main feature.Created: 27 Jun 2016, 4:26 p.m.
Is on the Manchester congenital cataracts gene panel, and is a confirmed DD gene for Muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy congenital with brain and eye anomalies type A2 (includes cataract as a phenotype).
