Grant Activity:
Identifying the Genetic Causes and Modifiers of Paediatric Cataract
Purpose:
Paediatric cataract causes blindness in children. Genetic testing is important for accurate diagnosis but many patients do not have mutations in known genes. Our research aims to identify all the genes that cause this disease so that we can design a genetic test that is as informative as possible for all patients. We will look for genetic mutations in families with paediatric cataract that are part of our large DNA repository as well as explore the role of the genes in a zebrafish model.
