| poikiloderma atrophicans and cataract | The rothmund-thomson syndrome, a genetic disorder with numerous features affecting skin (premature aging, excess pigmentation, dilated blood vessels),eyes ( uvenile cataract), nose (saddle nose), teeth (maldeveloped), skeletal system (congenital bone defects) hair (abnormal), gonads (underdevelopment) limbs (soft tissue contractures), growth (short stature). Blood (anaemia) and a tendency to develop a type of bone cancer (osteogenic sarcoma). The rts gene is on chromosome 8. The syndrome is recessive so to be affected with rts a child has to have two rts genes, one from each parent. (12 Dec 1998) |

| cataract |
a clouding of the crystalline lens of the eye or its surrounding transparent membrane, obstructing the passage of light and causing a reduction in vision. Cataract removal is generally considered a safe procedure for people with retinal degeneration. For more information, read "Cataract Surgery and Retinal Degeneration" in the MD Support Library.

| cataract extraction |
Removal of a cloudy lens from the eye. An extracapsular cataract extraction leaves the rear lens capsule intact; with an intracapsular extraction there is complete removal of lens with its capsule, usually by cryoextraction.

| cataract |
Opacity or cloudiness of the crystalline lens, which may prevent a clear image from forming on the retina. Surgical removal of the lens may be necessary if visual loss becomes significant, with lost optical power replaced with an intraocular lens, contact lens, or aphakic spectacles. May be congenital or caused by trauma, disease, or age.
