Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To investigate the role of genetic variations in three known cataract-associated genes, gap junction protein α3 (GJA3), gap junction protein α8 (GJA8), lens intrinsic membrane protein 2 (LIM2), encoding lens fiber cell membrane proteins in the development of age-related cataracts. METHODS: One hundred and forty-five sporadic age-related cataract patients and one hundred and fifty-six unrelated random...
