Clinical data and family history of the patients attending the hospital were recorded. Peripheral blood (2\u20133 ml) was collected from affected and unaffected family members having congenital cataract. Genomic DNA was extracted, and the candidate genes were amplified using gene specific primers. The polymerase chain reaction products were sequenced bidirectionally to analyze the cosegregation of the genotype with the disease phenotype, and the sequences were compared with NCBI reference sequences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Analysis of families with inherited cataract revealed two reported single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with congenital cataract, one in the promoter region of\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">CRYGB<\/jats:italic>\n                      gene (c.-47T &gt; C) and the other one in the exon 2 of\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">CRYGD<\/jats:italic>\n                      (c.51T&gt;C).
