title: Sister chromatid exchanges in congenital cataracts.
abstract: A total of 25 patients with bilateral congenital cataracts, from three aetiological groups i.e. rubella (6 patients) hereditary (6 patients) and undetected aetiology (13 patients) were studied for sister chromatid exchanges (SCE). SCEs were markedly raised in the rubella groups as compared with age sex matched controls. The other two groups also showed raised SCE, more so in hereditary group.
