Cataracts
From SNPedia
Cataracts are light scattering opacities of the crystalline lens of the eye, and they are a common ocular symptom of aging. They remain a significant cause of visual impairment, including accounting for 40% of world blindness.([1]; see also Wikipedia)
SNPs implicated with altered risk for developing age-related cataracts include:
- rs7543472 and rs11260867, just 3' of the EPHA2 gene
