          Abstract

          Isolated cases of cataract are often hereditary. This is the case in at least 25% of congenital cataracts and in a great number of acquired cataracts. They are mostly autosomal dominant. The cataracts associated with metabolic disorders or genetic dysplasias of course display the same inheritance mode as the systemic disease.
