| Abstract;We observed a pedigree of congenital cataract involving three generations. The propositus was a girl. Bilateral leukokoria was noted by her family when she was one year old. She was diagnosed with congenital cataract at the age of 18 months during a health check-up. She visited us at the age of 4 years. Her corrected visual acuity was 20/40 in either eye. Both eyes showed anterior subcapsular opacity, leading to the diagnosis of congenital cataract and to surgery. Four members in the pedigree had been operated for bilateral cataract. Their age at the time of surgery was 16 years for her father, 19 years for her paternal the second decade of life for her paternal uncle, and 30 years for her paternal grandfather. The age at the time of surgery thus ranged from 4 to 30 years among the five affected members. The mode of inheritance appeared to be autosomal dominant without other eye or systemic disorders.
