This mutation was present in all patients with cerulean cataract but was not present in any of the 13 unaffected family members nor in 96 control individuals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It not only presents diverse pictures and images from clinical practice, it also includes the latest findings in the field. [books.google.de]

They may be present at birth or develop in very early childhood, but may not be diagnosed until adulthood. They are usually bilateral and progressive. [malacards.org]

Asymptomatic
Infants can be asymptomatic, but may also be visually impaired from birth and develop nystagmus and amblyopia. In adulthood, the cataracts may progress, making lens removal necessary. [malacards.org]

Often leaves patient with asymptomatic vision, but not always (if vision is affected, lens removal and IOL implantation is indicated). May have many different presentations, such as cerulean cataracts, anterior polar cataracts, or many others. [optometrystudents.com]

No treatment is known to prevent cerulean cataracts, but frequent evaluations and cataract surgery are typically required to prevent amblyopia as the opacities progress. [diseaseinfosearch.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis - Cerulean cataract The \'prognosis\' of Cerulean cataract usually refers to the likely outcome of Cerulean cataract. [checkorphan.org]
The prognosis for successful surgery is less favorable for unilateral cataracts than for bilateral cataracts. [alpfmedical.info]
Etiology
They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology
Commonly, a patient with small congenital cataracts that do not affect vision will eventually be affected later in life; generally this will take decades to occur. [3] Epidemiology [ edit ] Congenital cataract are responsible for nearly 10% of all vision [en.wikipedia.org]
