Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to look for ADAMTSL4 mutations in a cohort of German patients with isolated ectopia lentis from nonconsanguineous families. METHODS: Mutation screening was performed by PCR amplification of the coding exons of ADAMTSL4 and subsequent sequencing. RESULTS: An identical homozygous deletion of 20 bp of coding sequence within exon 6 (NM_019032.4:c.759_778del20) was identified in...
