Functional analysis of HSF4 mutations found in patients with autosomal recessive congenital cataracts.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to functionally evaluate three previously uncharacterized heat shock factor protein 4 (HSF4) mutations (c.595_599delGGGCC, c.1213C>T, c.1327+4A>G) encoding mutant HSF4 proteins (G199EfsX15, R405X, and M419GfsX29) with missing C-terminal ends. These HSF4 mutations were previously identified in families with congenital autosomal recessive cataracts. METHODS: FLAG-tagged...
