Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the genetic defect in a large Chinese family with autosomal dominant cerulean cataract. METHODS: Genomic DNA and clinical data were collected from the family. Candidate gene sequencing and genome-wide linkage analysis were used to disclose the molecular basis responsible for cerulean cataract in the family. RESULTS: Initially, sequencing analysis of the three genes (beta-B2-crystallin...
