Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the genetic defect causing automosal dominant congenital cataracts (ADCC) with nuclear opacities in a Chinese pedigree. METHODS: Linkage analysis was carried out with the short tandem repeat polymorphisms flanking the candidate genes. Mutation analysis of the candidate gene in the critical region was performed to detect the potential mutation. RESULTS: The cataract locus in this pedigree...
