Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the underlying genetic defect in four generations of a Chinese family affected with bilateral congenital posterior subcapsular cataracts. METHODS: Clinical data from patients in the family were recorded by slit-lamp photography. Genomic DNA samples were extracted from peripheral blood of the pedigree members. Mutation screening was performed in the candidate gene by bidirectional sequencing...
