Mapping: Bellamy et al. (2023) "performed a genome wide association study that included 57 controls and 27 + 23 + 7 cases of cortical-, anterior suture line- and posterior polar cataract, respectively. ... The study identified two loci, on CFA20 [BICF2S23632983] and CFA21 [BICF2G630640490], that were significantly associated with posterior polar cataract in Havanese. SNPs that showed putative association with cortical cataracts, were observed on CFA4 and CFA30. All the top SNPs are located in close proximity to cataract candidate genes."

Breeds: Bengal (Cat) (VBO_0100040), Havana (Cat) (VBO_0100108), Himalayan (Cat) (VBO_0100117).
