Association analyses of East Asian individuals and trans-ancestry analyses with European individuals reveal new loci associated with cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Targeted Exome Sequencing of Congenital Cataracts Related Genes: Broadening the Mutation Spectrum and Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in 27 Chinese Han Families.
To address this issue, we here investigate whether absence of GFAP affects the phenotypic expression of motor neuron disease (MND) using an H46R mutant Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase-expressing mouse model of ALS (SOD1(H46R)).

Here, we demonstrate that substoichiometric amounts of vimentin carrying the R113C point mutation disrupted the endogenous vimentin network in all tissues examined but caused a disease phenotype only in the eye lens, leading to a posterior cataract that was paralleled by the formation of extensive protein aggregates in lens fibre cells.
