General: Autosomal dominant; epidemiologic evidence suggests that a single major gene can account for the correlation among siblings of nuclear sclerosis.

Ocular: Congenital zonular cataract; total nuclear cataract; fetal nucleus with scattered fine diffuse cortical opacities and incomplete cortical riders.

Clinical: None.
