Genetic variations in GJA3, GJA8, LIM2, and age-related cataract in the Chinese population: a mutation screening study.

Abstract

The genetic mutation in GJA3, GJA8, and LIM2 may slightly contribute to the development of age-related cataracts. This study showed a potential relationship between lens fiber cell membrane protein genes and the development of age-related cataracts in the Chinese population.
