In addition, we identified up-regulation of genes that are involved in resistance to apoptosis and induction of angiogenesis, while apoptotic cell death and decreased expression of Bcl-2 occur in lens epithelial cells in anterior polar cataracts [38] and angiogenesis has never been described as a pathologic consequence of cataract or lens injury. The gene discussed is BCL2; the disease is Anterior polar cataract.
