27 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the mutation and the underlying mechanism of cataractogenesis in a five-generation autosomal dominant congenital lamellar cataract family. METHODS: Nineteen mutation hot spots associated with autosomal dominant congenital cataract have been screened by PCR-based DNA sequencing. Recombinant wild-type and mutant human alphaB-crystallin were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to...
