UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁶ Cataract 40: 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. CTRCT40 manifests as a congenital nuclear opacity with severe visual impairment in affected males. Heterozygous females have suture cataracts and only slight reduction in vision. In some cases, cataract is associated with microcornea without any other systemic anomaly or dysmorphism. Microcornea is defined by a corneal diameter inferior to 10 mm in both meridians in an otherwise normal eye.

MalaCards based summary : Cataract 40, also known as cataract 40 with or without microcornea, is related to suppressor of tumorigenicity 3 and cataract, congenital, with microcornea or slight microphthalmia. An important gene associated with Cataract 40 is NHS (NHS Actin Remodeling Regulator). Affiliated tissues include eye, t cells and heart, and related phenotypes are severely reduced visual acuity and nuclear cataract

Disease Ontology : ¹² A cataract that has material basis in mutation in the NHS gene on chromosome Xp22.
