Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Cerulean cataract:

1.	Crystallins (Crystallin)IBA 01/01/2011 - "Initially, sequencing analysis of the three genes (beta-B2-crystallin [CRYBB2], gamma-D-crystallin [CRYGD], and V-MAF avian musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog [MAF]) known to cause cerulean cataract failed to find any mutation. " 07/24/2009 - "To assess for gammaD-crystallin (CRYGD) mutation in 2 Saudi patients with cerulean cataract and in a brother of one of the patients who had coralliform cataract. "
2.	beta-CrystallinsIBA 05/01/1997 - "Autosomal dominant cerulean cataract is associated with a chain termination mutation in the human beta-crystallin gene CRYBB2."
3.	Initiator Codon (Start Codon)IBA 01/01/2011 - "Cerulean cataract was found in a large family and is caused by a novel initiation codon mutation in MIP. " 01/01/2011 - "Cerulean cataract mapped to 12q13 and associated with a novel initiation codon mutation in MIP."
4.	Silicon Dioxide (Silica)FDA LinkGeneric 09/01/2012 - "The identical mutation has previously been reported to be linked with different phenotypes; lamellar cataract, cerulean cataract, coralliform cataract, flaky silica-like nuclear cataract and fasciculiform type cataract in different ADCC families. "
5.	DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)IBA 03/15/2006 - "A novel mutation in the DNA-binding domain of MAF at 16q23.1 associated with autosomal dominant "cerulean cataract" in an Indian family."
6.	Capsules (Microcapsules)IBA 01/01/2009 - "This case suggests that the mechanism of the light-blue color formation in the cerulean cataract was also present in the lens epithelial cells, forming the posterior capsule opacity."
