Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mutations in the αA-crystallin (CRYAA) gene may contribute to the development of age-related cataract (ARC). In this study, we searched for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in exons of CRYAA and investigated the associations between the identified SNPs and the subtypes of ARC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Peripheral venous blood was collected for the extraction of genomic DNA. Three exons of CRYAA...
