Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the disease-causing mutation in a five-generation Chinese family affected with bilateral congenital nuclear cataract. METHODS: Linkage analysis was performed for the known candidate genes and whole-exome sequencing was used in two affected family members to screen for potential genetic mutations; Sanger sequencing was used to verify the mutations throughout family. RESULTS: A novel beaded...
