METABOLIC CATARACTS : common causes of bilateral pediatric cataracts
why genetic mutations take the lead as the most common cause of bilateral cataracts in the pediatric population. Unravel the inheritance patterns, with autosomal dominant being the most prevalent, followed by autosomal recessive and XL inheritance. Gain insights into specific genes like crystallins and connexins that play a crucial role.
