Correspondingly to the results obtained for congenital cataracts, in ALCs from the patients with traumatic cataracts, no correlations between the expression of TGFβ genes and age (ALCs: TGFβ1, r=-0.158, NS; TGFβ2, r=0.110, NS; TGFβ3, r=-0.046, NS) were detected. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB3 and early-onset non-syndromic cataract.
