Bilateral Congenital Membranous Cataracts Due To Glucosaminy Indian Journal Of Ophthalmology

Bilateral Congenital Membranous Cataracts Due To Glucosaminy Indian Journal Of Ophthalmology This is where genetic analysis in patients with congenital cataract can be useful and prove genetic basis which can be useful in monitoring other manifestations in the future. we would like to reiterate to consider possible gcnt2 mutations in patients with membranous cataracts and monitoring the children for other expressions. author’s. To our knowledge, the gcnt2 mutation with i blood group phenotype is uncommon and has not been reported in the indian population. morphology of the cataract may not always help us in diagnosis of the cause of the cataract, just like in our case where the initial impression was membranous cataract secondary to intrauterine rubella infection.

Bilateral congenital membranous cataracts due to glucosaminyl (n acetyl) transferase 2 (gcnt2) mutation: life saving genetic analysis july 2022 indian journal of ophthalmology 70(7):2622 2623. A case of two siblings who presented with congenital membranous cataract is demonstrated, which initially raised suspicion of intrauterine infection, which was then ruled out through appropriate investigations. cataract is one of the most important causes of treatable childhood blindness.[1] common etiologies include trauma, hereditary, intrauterine infections, maternal malnutrition, metabolic. In ideal scenarios, unilateral congenital cataracts should be operated on by around 6 to 8 weeks of age and bilateral congenital cataracts by around 10 weeks of age to get acceptable visual outcomes.[26,27] however this is often unachievable in real world situations. in our cases, symptoms could be identified in 30% of all cases in infancy.

Among these children, only 18 (15.9%) with bilateral cataract and 1 (1.2%) with unilateral cataract underwent surgery between 3 and 6 m of age. the outcomes were poorer in unilateral cataracts, visual impairment and blindness occurred 35.4% of eyes with bilateral cataract, and 74.7% of eyes with unilateral cataract. The visual acuity of children having congenital cataract was more likely to be less than 6 60 than those with developmental cataract (69.1% vs. 36.4%, p < 0.001). the mean iop was 14 mm of hg (sd = 4.7) in the right eye and 13.8 mm of hg (sd = 4.2) in the left eye. three patients had iop more than 20 mm of hg.
