Molecular mechanism underlying a Cx50-linked congenital cataract.

The American journal of physiology - 1 Jun 1999

Pal J D, Berthoud V M, Beyer E C, Mackay D, Shiels A, Ebihara L

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in gap junctional channels have been linked to certain forms of inherited congenital cataract (D. Mackay, A. Ionides, V. Berry, A. Moore, S. Bhattacharya, and A. Shiels. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 60: 1474-1478, 1997; A. Shiels, D. Mackay, A. Ionides, V. Berry, A. Moore, and S. Bhattacharya. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 62: 526-532, 1998). We used the Xenopus oocyte pair system to investigate the functional properties of...
