Homozygous Nonsense Mutation in the FOXE3 Gene as a Cause of Congenital Primary Aphakia in Humans [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2006
Congenital primary aphakia (CPA) is a rare developmental disorder characterized by the absence of lens, the development of which is normally induced during the 4th-5th wk of human embryogenesis. This original failure leads, in turn, to complete aplasia of the anterior segment of the eye, which is the diagnostic histological criterion for CPA.

A new strategy to calculate the intraocular lens power in congenital cataracts according to age and axial length at implantation

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 102, Issue 4, Page e595-e601, June 2024.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of the study was to suggest a new method to calculate the intraocular lens (IOL) power in paediatric cataracts targeting emmetropia at the age of 15 years. Methods Data of children younger than 15 years who underwent cataract surgery with IOL implantation between 2005 and 2020 in the ophthalmological department of Marseille
