OMIA:000168-9534 : Cataract, generic in Chlorocebus aethiops (grivet)

In other species: chicken , crab-eating macaque , dog , giant panda , domestic ferret , domestic cat , lion , ass (donkey) , horse , taurine cattle , sheep , rabbit , domestic guinea pig , degu , thirteen-lined ground squirrel , bald eagle , green monkey

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: yes

Cross-species summary: Opacity of the lens of the eye.

Inheritance: Magwebu et al. (2018) reported that "The parents of the affected individuals were however observed to be asymptomatic, which confirmed that this phenotype was transmitted in a recessive mode" but did not provide sufficient evidence to support the claimed inheritance.

Markers: Ngqaneka et al. (2020) identified several variants in functional candidate genes that "were found to be potentially disease-causing".
