Genetic factors influence cataract formation in alpha 3 connexin knockout mice.

Developmental genetics - 1 Jan 1999

Gong X, Agopian K, Kumar N M, Gilula N B

Abstract excerpt

Connexin alpha 3 (Cx46 or Gja3) gene targeted null mice developed lens nuclear cataracts shortly after birth. A large variance in the cataracts was observed in alpha 3 null sibs on a mixed 129SvJae X C57BL/6J F3 background. This suggested that the genetic background might influence the cataract p...
