0.640 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE We aimed to identify the genetic cause of isolated autosomal-dominant lamellar cataract in a five-generation British family.MethodsWhole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on two affected individuals of the family and further validated by direct sequencing in family members.ResultsA novel missense mutation NM_001040667.2:c.190A>G;p.K64E was identified in the DNA-binding-domain of heat-shock transcription factor 4 (HSF4) and found to co-segregate with disease.ConclusionWe have identified a novel mutation in HSF4 in a large British pedigree causing dominant congenital lamellar cataract. 29243736 2018

0.640 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Based on the proximity of p.Arg116His to two known mutations in the DNA-binding domain of HSF4, namely, p.Leu114Pro and p.Arg119Cys, which segregate with childhood lamellar cataract, we tested the possibility that this phenotype may have been missed by the ophthalmologist and/or that it did not spread to the visual axis so as to affect vision significantly. 24975927 2014
