Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gap junction protein alpha 3 (GJA3), an important pathogenic gene of congenital cataracts, encodes the transmembrane protein connexin46, which functions as an intercellular channel for voltage and chemical gating by forming dodecamers. This study systematically collected nsSNP information for the GJA3 gene from SNP databases and literature and screened for nsSNPs with high risks of pathogenicity....
