Disease relevance of CRYGC

  • The current study extends those findings to the following crystallin genes involved in some congenital cataracts: CRYAA (R116C), CRYAB (R120G), and CRYGC (T5P) [1].
 

High impact information on CRYGC

  • To our knowledge, these findings are the first evidence of an involvement of CRYGC and support the role of CRYGD in human cataract formation [2].
  • Further analysis of the original Coppock-like-cataract family identified a missense mutation in a highly conserved segment of exon 2 of CRYGC [2].
  • This diastereomeric mixture was resolved by enzymatic acetylation with CCL [3].
  • CRYGC (T5P) is one of the many gamma-crystallin mutant genes for autosomal dominant congenital cataracts [4].
 

Biological context of CRYGC

  • A functional candidate gene approach was employed for PCR screening and sequencing of the exons and their flanking regions of CRYGC, CRYGD, and CRYAA genes [5].
