UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁴ Cataract 31, multiple types: An opacification of the crystalline lens of the eye that frequently results in visual impairment or blindness. Opacities vary in morphology, are often confined to a portion of the lens, and may be static or progressive. In general, the more posteriorly located and dense an opacity, the greater the impact on visual function. CTRCT31 includes posterior polar, progressive posterior subcapsular, nuclear, and anterior subcapsular cataracts.

MalaCards based summary : Cataract 31, Multiple Types, is also known as cataract, posterior polar, 3. An important gene associated with Cataract 31, Multiple Types is CHMP4B (Charged Multivesicular Body Protein 4B), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Vesicle-mediated transport and Autophagy Pathway. Affiliated tissues include eye and cortex, and related phenotypes are nuclear cataract and posterior subcapsular cataract

Disease Ontology : ¹² A cataract that has material basis in heterozygous mutation in the CHMP4B gene on chromosome 20q11.

OMIM : ⁵⁷ Mutations in the CHMP4B gene have been found to cause multiple types of cataract, which have been described as posterior polar, progressive posterior subcapsular, nuclear, and anterior subcapsular. The preferred title/symbol of this entry was formerly 'Cataract, Posterior Polar, 3; CTPP3.' (605387)
