G91-deletion in βA3/A1-crystallin induces cellular and molecular changes in mouse lenses leading to congenital cataract development.

CRYβA1-ΔG91 (βA3ΔG91) is a mutational hotspot in CRYβA1, which causes autosomal dominant congenital nuclear cataract in humans and mice. Previous in-vitro studies of recombinant βA3ΔG91 showed defective folding, decreased solubility, and aberrant oligomerization of βA3ΔG91 with other crystallins. Em...
