Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To detect the underlying pathogenesis of congenital cataract in a four-generation Chinese family. METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) of family members (III:4, IV:4, and IV:6) was performed. Sanger sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were subsequently conducted. Full-length WT-MIP or K228fs-MIP fused to HA markers at the N-terminal was transfected into HeLa cells. Next, quantitative real-time PCR,...
