Table of Contents
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that autosomal recessive cataract-38 (CTRCT38) is caused by homozygous mutation in the AGK gene (610345) on chromosome 7q34.
See also Sengers syndrome (212350), a syndromic form of congenital cataract caused by mutation in AGK.
Aldahmesh et al. (2012) reported a sister and 2 brothers from a consanguineous Saudi family who were born with congenital cataract but had otherwise normal ophthalmologic and systemic examinations. Specifically, cardiac evaluation including electrocardiography and echocardiography showed no evidence of structural or functional impairment, they had normal muscle power clinically and lacked any history of exercise intolerance, and lactic acid was normal in all 3 patients.
In a consanguineous family segregating autosomal recessive congenital cataract, Aldahmesh et al. (2012) performed linkage analysis and obtained a single peak with a lod score of 3.1 (rs6962852), delimited by recombinations at rs12668057 and rs4726235. Autozygosity mapping both confirmed and narrowed the critical region on 7q to an interval between rs11765427 and rs10278502.
The transmission pattern of cataract in the family reported by Aldahmesh et al. (2012) was consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance.
In a consanguineous Saudi family with nonsyndromic congenital cataract mapping to chromosome 7q33-q36.1, Aldahmesh et al. (2012) performed exome sequencing and identified a homozygous splice site mutation in the AGK gene (610345.0010) that segregated with disease.

Dear OMIM User,
To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90% of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the information that you need at your fingertips.
Thank you in advance for your generous support,
Ada Hamosh, MD, MPH
