Bilateral posterior lenticonus, typically unilateral, may be inherited. This study suggests an X-linked inheritance pattern for bilateral posterior lenticonus in boys, with affected mothers showing less severe lenticular changes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Pediatric Eye Diseases

Background:

  • Posterior lenticonus is generally a unilateral condition.
  • Previous research indicated no clear familial links for posterior lenticonus.

Observation:

  • Three cases of bilateral posterior lenticonus in young boys were identified.
  • Mothers of these boys presented with less severe posterior lenticular changes.

Findings:

  • The observed pattern suggests a potential X-linked inheritance for bilateral posterior lenticonus.
  • This contrasts with the typical unilateral presentation and lack of familial evidence.

Implications:

  • This finding may necessitate genetic counseling for families with posterior lenticonus.

  • Further research is warranted to confirm the X-linked inheritance pattern and its genetic basis.
