Disease relevance of Cryba2

  • Genetic analysis revealed allelism to the Cat2 group of dominant cataracts on mouse chromosome 1; therefore, the cluster of the Cryg genes and the closely linked Cryba2 gene were tested as candidates [1].
 

High impact information on Cryba2

  • The candidate genes (the Cryg gene cluster and the closely linked Cryba2 gene) were sequenced [2].
  • It suggests that the cluster of gamma-crystallin encoding genes (Cryg) and the betaA2-crystallin encoding gene Cryba2 are excellent candidate genes [3].
