Brief summary
Iiopathic bilateral cataracts occur in many children with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) so the opportunity to use contact with health care providers in connection with pediatric cataract evaluation and treatment is a promising avenue for disease detection and prevention.
Detailed description
This is an observational, multicenter study to determine the prevalence of Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX) in patient populations diagnosed with early-onset idiopathic bilateral cataracts. Patients who are potentially eligible for study participation will be identified through a chart review of patients who were seen at each study site prior to that site's initiation, or by entering care at the site while the site is participating in the trial.
