Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Ephrin (Eph) receptor A2 (EPHA2) polymorphism has been associated with age-related cataract (ARC) in different populations worldwide, but the mechanisms by which this polymorphism results in the development of ARC are unclear. Here, we chose four EPHA2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs35903225, rs145592908, rs137853199, and rs116506614) and studied their function in human lens epithelial cells...
