Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A phenotype-genotype correlation may be used to predict the causative genes, and the involvement of other tissues and organs based on the appearance of the lens. In addition, it can be used to improve our understanding of lens biology. A phenotype-genotype correlation is difficult to establish because of the genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity of congenital cataracts.
In this trail, the investigators aim to screen the causative variants from 115 unrelated bilateral congenital cataract patients enrolled consecutively, describe novel and recurrent variants, analyze the factors affecting genetic diagnostic yield, and explore potential phenotype-genotype correlation. Facial and anterior eye segment photographs, pre- and post-operative ocular parameters, and medical and family histories were recorded. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using whole-exome sequencing data. Statistical and correlation analyses were performed using the basic characteristics, deep phenotype, and genotype data.

Bilateral congenital cataract probands who were consecutively enrolled
Ophthalmic examination
Facial photographs of the participants were obtained at the time of enrolment. Pre- and post-operative anterior eye segment photographs were obtained under diffuse, direct focal and retro illumination. Clinical data, including basic information, family history, and comprehensive pre- and post-operative ophthalmic examination findings, were recorded.
Whole-exome sequencing
Performing whole-exome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.
