Figure 2. Photograph of cataract
phenotypes observed in the present Indian family and in the British
family having the identical mutation (p.P88Q) in
GJA8.
A:
The slit lamp photograph (three-dimensional lens) of a patient shows
very prominent feather-like sutural opacities. Apart from sutural
opacities, riders are prominent. The inside of the semi-opaque fetal
nucleus appeared optically empty.
B: The photograph from the
affected lens of an individual from the British autosomal dominant
congenital cataract family with zonular pulverulent cataract [
20] shows linear dense
vertical opacities inside the fetal nucleus with embryonic nucleus
remaining clear and without sutural opacities.
