Koby's floriform cataract is a congenital cataract of hereditary nature, and its transmission is probably autosomal dominant (it is enough for one of the two parents to carry the genetic anomaly for the child to have the disease).
History
The term Koby's floriform cataract was first used by the Frenchman Frederic Koby in 1923.
