Genetic heterogeneity of pulverulent cataracts. Phenotype–genotype correlations in hereditary, congenital cataracts are generally not possible. For example, several pulverulent cataracts are shown, caused by mutations in different genes as indicated above by corresponding slit-lamp or Scheimpflug photographs. Similar examples could be given for any other type of cataract. (According to [58], with permission from the BJM group; [122] and [123], with permission from Mol.
