Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital cataract has been reported in a colony of captive-bred vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops). METHODS: Molecular tools such as genotyping and gene expression were used to identify mutations associated with congenital cataract in this vervet colony. Beaded filament structural protein 1 (BFSP1), beta-crystallin B1 (CRYBB1), galactokinase1 (GALK1), and gap junction alpha-8 protein (GJA8) were...
