Common variants in SOX-2 and congenital cataract genes contribute to age-related nuclear cataract

Common variants in SOX-2 and congenital cataract genes contribute to age-related nuclear cataract

Here, the authors report a multi-ethnic genome wide association meta-analysis of 12 studies from the International Cataract Genetics Consortium. They find six new loci associated with age-related nuclear cataract, in addition to replicating the association at CRYAA, and suggest a strong genetic link...
