Summary: Congenital cataracts caused by genetic disorders are the primary cause of child blindness across the globe. This study investigated two mutations of gamma C-crystallin in Chinese families with nuclear congenital cataracts, revealing that these mutations destabilized the protein and increased aggregation propensity under environmental stress.
