Case report: Whole exome sequencing identified a novel mutation (p.Y301H) of MAF in a Chinese family with congenital cataracts

BackgroundCongenital cataracts stand as the primary cause of childhood blindness globally, characterized by clouding of the eye’s lens at birth or shortly thereafter. Previous investigations have unveiled that a variant in the V-MAF avian musculoaponeurotic-fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog (MAF) gene c...
