In addition to relatively rare forms of inherited cataract, at least 12 common single nucleotide variants in EPHA2 (mostly non-coding) including one non-synonymous coding variant (p.R721Q) located in the TK domain have been associated with susceptibility to the much more prevalent forms of age-related nuclear, cortical, and posterior sub-capsular cataracts [19,20] (https://cat–map.wustl.edu/; accessed on 30 July 2021). Here, EPHA2 is linked to cataract.
