Mutations in genes encoding proteins important in the development and maintenance of the structural integrity of the lens such as crystallins, connexins and aquaporins [1,2] are typically associated with isolated congenital cataracts while mutations in the transcription factor genes PAX6[3], FOXE3[4], EYA1[5], MAF[6], and PITX3[7] have been described in congenital cataract with anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD). Here, PAX6 is linked to Developmental cataract.
