About Hyperferritinemia-Cataract Syndrome

Hyperferritinemia with or Without Cataract, also known as hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome, is related to cataract and rare hereditary hemochromatosis. An important gene associated with Hyperferritinemia with or Without Cataract is FTL (Ferritin Light Chain), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Transport of inorganic cations/anions and amino acids/oligopeptides and Glucose / Energy Metabolism. Affiliated tissues include eye, liver and myeloid, and related phenotypes are cataract and abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis

Major Symptoms of Hyperferritinemia-Cataract Syndrome

Hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome is a rare disease. The main symptoms include:

1. Shadows in front of the eyes: Patients may feel shadows around the eyes or blurred vision, which may be more obvious when moving or looking at distant objects.

2. Decreased vision: Patients may experience gradual blurring or deterioration of vision, especially in darker environments. This may be caused by abnormalities in the lens or cornea within the eye.

10. Strabismus: Patients may feel that their eyes are tilted to one side, resulting in uneven vision. It should be noted that these symptoms are not necessarily characteristics of Hyperferritinemia-cataaract syndrome, and specific cases require a detailed medical history and eye examination. If you have these symptoms, please seek medical treatment promptly and receive treatment advice from a professional doctor.

Hyperferritinemia-cataaract syndrome is a rare disease characterized by abnormal proliferation and calcification of lens fibers, resulting in progressive blurring and out-of-focus vision. People suffering from this disease need to pay attention to the following lifestyle habits:

1. Maintain good living habits, including regular work and rest time, appropriate diet, appropriate exercise, etc.
