Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the molecular genetic background in families with nuclear congenital cataract. METHODS: Family history and clinical data were recorded. Ten candidate genes were screened for causative mutations. Direct sequencing was performed to analyze the cosegregation of the genotype with the disease phenotype. Effects of amino acid changes on the structure and function of protein were predicted by...
