The purpose of this study was to study the molecular basis of inherited autosomal recessive cataracts in Pakistan population and to identify the molecular defect segregating with the disease phenotype. Families having two or more affected individuals were identified through hospital, blood samples were collected and DNA was extracted. We employed the traditional strategy of linkage analysis using M13-labeled primers to map the already known genes for autosomal recessive cataract. Statistically, the data were evaluated through LOD score. Ten families affected with autosomal receive congenital cataract were enrolled for this study. Overall, three families were linked to reported loci for autosomal recessive congenital cataract. Out of these, one family Bl05 was linked to a cataract locus at 9q13. Fine mapping of the chromosome 9 locus considerably delimited the previously reported linkage interval from 13.99 to 7.99 cM in this study. Our results reduced the linkage interval of previously reported cataract locus on chromosome 9, thus considerably reducing the number of candidate genes.
