Crystal cataracts: Human genetic cataract caused by protein crystallization

Several human genetic cataracts have been linked recently to point mutations in the γD crystallin gene. Here we provide a molecular basis for lens opacity in two genetic cataracts and suggest that the opacity occurs because of the spontaneous crystallization of the mutant proteins. Such crystallizat...
