MalaCards: Cataract, also known as bilateral cataracts (disorder), is related to congenital cataracts and senile cataract. An important gene associated with Cataract is GJA8 (gap junction protein, alpha 8, 50kDa), and among its related pathways are Inhibition of Angiogenesis by TSP1 and Metabolic pathways. The compounds lipid and thymidine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include whole blood, brain and cortex, and related mouse phenotypes are mortality/aging and integument.
