Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to characterize the underlying mutation in a large multiplex Chinese family with hereditary nuclear cataract. METHODS: A 6-generation Chinese family having hereditary nuclear cataract was recruited and clinically verified. Blood DNA samples were obtained from 53 available family members. Linkage analyses were performed on the known candidate regions for hereditary cataract with...
