Characterization of a variant of gap junction protein α8 identified in a family with hereditary cataract
PURPOSE: Congenital cataracts occur in isolation in about 70% of cases or are associated with other abnormalities such as anterior segment dysgenesis and microphthalmia. We identified a three-generation family in the University of California San Francisco glaucoma clinic comprising three individuals...
