Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To explore the molecular genetic cause of a four-generation autosomal dominant congenital cataract family in China. METHODS: Targeted region sequencing was performed to screen for the potential mutation, and Sanger sequencing was used to confirm the mutation. The homology model was constructed to identify the protein structural change, PolyPhen-2 and Provean were used to predict the mutation impact....
