Human mutation - 1 Sept 2014

Abstract excerpt
SLC4A11 mutations cause some cases of the corneal endothelial dystrophies, congenital hereditary endothelial corneal dystrophy type 2 (CHED2), Harboyan syndrome (HS), and Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). SLC4A11 protein was recently identified as facilitating water flux across membranes. SLC4A11 point mutations usually cause SLC4A11 misfolding and retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We set...
