Abstract

Se efectúa una revisión en las bases de datos de Internet sobre algunos aspectos hereditarios y genéticos involucrados en la catarata congénita. Se encuentra que en ella existen un gran número de genes implicados como: CRYGD, CCV, PCC, LOC619404, CCA1, CATM, CCNP, PITX3, GCNT2, CCT, CCAT, CATC2, CCZS, CCFDN, CRYAA, BFSP2, CRYBB1, CRYBB2, Cgct, MAF, Cad, CCA2, HSF4, CRYBA1, CRYAB, CRYGC, FAM126A, EYA1, CRYBB3, PAX6, NHS, GJA8, GJA3, AIPL1, SIX6, MTHFR, GALT, Gja3, LCT, BCL2, DMBX1 y GALK1. A continuación se informa de una pareja de gemelas de 28 años de edad afectadas de catarata congénita juvenil en ambos ojos, diagnosticada durante su adolescencia con disminución lenta y progresiva de la visión en los últimos meses, por lo que se decidió la extracción extracapsular del cristalino vía límbica con implante de lente intraocular en saco capsular durante el año 2004. El transoperatorio y su evolución posterior fueron satisfactorios. La refracción realizada a las dos pacientes a los tres meses de operadas estuvo entre 1,0 y 0,8 con la mejor corrección óptica. En la actualidad se mantienen con similar agudeza visual
